<p>Today the Radeon RX580 graphics card I bought arrived. To get
the drivers for the card, I went here <br>
</p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.amd.com/en/support">https://www.amd.com/en/support</a> where I downloaded <span
style="white-space: pre-wrap">amdgpu-install_6.0.60002-1_all.deb</span></span></p>
<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap"><span
style="white-space: pre-wrap">Next I started following the instructions at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/</a> then I started running into problems.</span></span></p>
<p>amdgpu-install --vulkan=amdvlk,pro gave me 2 errors:</p>
<p>E: Unable to locate package vulkan-amdgpu-pro and the same for
vulkan-amdgpu-pro:i386</p>
<p>I kept going and entered amdgpu-install -y --usecase=workstation</p>
<p>That returned the errors Unable to locate package amdgpu-pro and
amdgpu-pro-lib32</p>
<p>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<code>:</code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">ffmpeg -i
input.mp4 -c:v h264_amf -c:a copy output.mp4<br>
<br>
That gave me several errors. The first one was [h264_amf @
0x562e1f855380] DLL libamfrt64.so.1 failed to open</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">So I tried sudo
updatedb and locate libamfrt64.so.1 which returned nothing.
That told me the file wasn't there.</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I tried to
transcode a file with Handbrake but it didn't show h264_amf
among the available codec options.</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I tried searching
for how to install libamfrt64.so.1 but all I got was
references to steps I already tried.<br>
</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Did I make a
mistake somwhere or does AMD need to fix something?</font></code></p>
<p><code><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Thank for your
help.</font></code></p>
