AMD Error initializing context: clCreateCommandQueue (-6)

It seems that a lot of GPU problems revolve around specific versions of drivers. Though AMD has their own support structure, you can often learn from information reported by others who fold.

I've tried to install opencl drivers from the arch OpenCL page (new user can't post direct links)

I've installed
  • opencl-mesa
    opencl-amd
Tried to install 'opencl-amdgpu-pro-orca' but I get an error:

Code: Select all

Error: Failed to commit transaction:
conflicting files:
opencl-amdgpu-pro-orca: /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl-orca64.icd already exists in filesystem
Tried to install 'rocm-opencl-runtime' but I get depdency errors, am currently trying to resolve those.

Can anyone help, is there anything else I can try?

Another person posted an How-To on AMD drivers for Linux - viewtopic.php?f=81&t=33353&p=318278&hilit=AMD+Linux+install#p318278. Perhaps that can give you some pointers. There are some other posts on doing this, it may take a little searching to find them among all of the new topics and posts.
