I also don't think I made it clear that mesa is probably better than the proprietary AMD drivers on linux. The same is untrue on NVIDIA.

>> Today the Radeon RX580 graphics card I bought arrived. To get the drivers for the card, I went here
>>
>> https://www.amd.com/en/support where I downloaded amdgpu-install_6.0.60002-1_all.deb
>>
>> Next I started following the instructions at https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ then I started running into problems.

>> amdgpu-install --vulkan=amdvlk,pro gave me 2 errors:

>> E: Unable to locate package vulkan-amdgpu-pro and the same for vulkan-amdgpu-pro:i386
>>
>> I kept going and entered amdgpu-install -y --usecase=workstation
>>
>> That returned the errors Unable to locate package amdgpu-pro and amdgpu-pro-lib32
>>
>> With the error messages I figured I'd have problems, but I tried to find out if I could use the hardware acceleration so I entered*:*
>>
>> *ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v h264_amf -c:a copy output.mp4
>>
>> That gave me several errors. The first one was [h264_amf @ 0x562e1f855380] DLL libamfrt64.so.1 failed to open*
>>
>> *So I tried sudo updatedb and locate libamfrt64.so.1 which returned nothing. That told me the file wasn't there.*
>>
>> *I tried to transcode a file with Handbrake but it didn't show h264_amf among the available codec options.*
>>
>> *I tried searching for how to install libamfrt64.so.1 but all I got was references to steps I already tried.

>> *Did I make a mistake somwhere or does AMD need to fix something?*

>> *Thank for your help.*
