Update to Ultimate AMD GPU Linux FAH Guide for OpenCL (FAH-Client v8 only)

[muziqaz]

OK, updated the damn thing again.
Replaced rocm-opencl-sdk with rocm-opencl-runtime.
In some cases icd loader is no longer required. In some cases lack of it causes WUs to fail, even though fah-client shows everything supported (v8.5.1 alpha, I'm looking at you ). But majority of distros, rocm-opencl-runtime pulls some sort of icd loader with it

Since 25.04 and 25.10 have revamped their way of handling things, heres an update:

Download AMD's GPG public key with:

curl -fsSL https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key \
| sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg

Before entering this into your terminal, change the ROCm version to the one you want:

echo 'Types: deb
URIs: https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/7.0.1/
Suites: noble
Components: main
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg' \
| sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.sources

After this, run:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

In Ubuntu 25, you do not need Synaptic Package Manager as repositories can be managed directly via "Software & Updates" -> Other Software.
In a nutshell, you dont need to do all the SPM stuff muziqaz has in the main post.

Good luck!

Joe, can you add the following snippet to the first post of this thread

For Ubuntu 25.04 users, please follow this short guide on how to add a Radeon repo: viewtopic.php?p=371796#p371796

Thanks to AHelpingHand

This can be slotted with quote formatting between:
Check Web UI System Info section if your GPU is now supported (Should say True next to Supported)
AND
--Linux Mint:

Thanks

Oh, wow, Linux can't even get basic OS level settings synced within itself

Hello , tried this today, but had problems with "key" this could be solved by the following
https://github.com/ROCm/ROCm/issues/5268

sudo gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 9386B48A1A693C5C
sudo gpg --export --armor 9386B48A1A693C5C | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/amdgpu.asc

afterwards, it allowed me to install the packages from AMD.

This is only needed for gnome desktop environment

am using devuan 6.0 running xfce4; it was needed there, too. seems quite an ubiquitous error , and now apt-key deprecated, found it useful.
