I posted this question on the AMD community forums, but decided to also post it here as it seemed relevant to Ubuntu.

I seem to be having issues installing the latest driver on Ubuntu Server. I've installed amdgpu-pro 18.2 on Ubuntu 18.04 in the past but I can't at all get the amdgpu-pro 18.40-676022 driver (Download Not Complete | AMD from Radeon™ Software for Linux® 18.40 Highlights | AMD ) to install on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04.1. I've downloaded the driver twice and verified that both had the same SHA256 checksums (is there an official repository of the driver checksums?)

It works neither on its own nor with flags

$ ./amdgpu-pro-install

I tried installing the amdgpu-pro-18.20-606296 driver on Ubuntu Server 18.04.01 and I seem to have gotten the same error messages. Maybe this is an issue with ubuntu repositories or something.

I tried installing the AMD 18.40 driver in a virtual machine (Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1, Ubuntu desktop 16.04.5, Ubuntu Server 16.04.5, Ubuntu Server 18.04.1)

• Desktop 18: seemed to install but gave an error:

WARNING: amdgpu dkms failed for running kernel (assuming this has something to do with the virtual machine)

• Desktop 16: same as Desktop 18


• Server 16: seemed to install without issue


• 
  

  Server 18: same issues as above, also tried with AMD drivers 18.20 and 18.30 and none worked, all gave Depends: mesa-amdgpu-va-drivers ... but it is not going to be installed I tried installing the package manually which led to

  
  
  

  Depends: libval1-amdgpu ...
  
  Package 'libva1-amdgpu' has no installation candidate
  
  

  
  

So I'm guessing this is an issue specific to Server 18.04.1 and not Ubuntu 18.04.1 in general since it seems to install fine in Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1.

I tried changing the mirror in the server 18.04.1 installation from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu to http://ao.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu since that's the mirror desktop seems to be using but that didn't seem to do anything.

Confirmed working on Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1. I installed Ubuntu Desktop 18.04.1 onto a flash drive and was able to install amd-gpu-pro 18.40 and successfully run it with an RX 470.

Still won't install on Ubuntu Server 18.04.1 and I still have no idea why.

The question was answered in this thread on AMD Community by jgrevich.

Out of the box 18.04 doesn't have those packages. Try adding the universe apt repo:

sudo apt-add-repository universe
