Right now just for testing, I have Handbrake changing a 1440x1080
25 minute video to 640x480 h264. Handbrake is encoding at 80fps
and using around 96% of the CPU. The CPU is an Intel i5-3750 at
3,4GHz with 32GB RAM.
Do you truly need proprietary drivers? That card is one of the best supported by open source software. So I would just install mesa, which should be easily installed from your distro's package manager, if it's not installed already.
Assuming you do need proprietary, maybe try a reboot if you haven't already? It's giving a missing binary error and sometimes I get those after a kernel update and not rebooting.

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.
Jim
