Didn't work on Ubuntu 16.04

[songproducer]

I got some error about not being able to install firmware-radeon-ucode_1.50_all.deb

Now I'm trying to upgrade to 17 but get this:

W:The repository 'http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian zesty Release' does not have a Release file., W:Data from such a repository can't be authenticated and is therefore potentially dangerous to use., W:See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details., E:Failed to fetch http://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/dists/zesty/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found, E:Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

At first: I am curious which error message stopped you from installing the firmware deb package? Do you still have the error message?

Concerning your current issue when upgrading to 17: This error is in no way related to the linux kernel and packages from this page. It looks like you added the rocm (radeon open compute module) apt repository to your system but made some mistake. Look in apt sources /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d for the faulty entry. But basically such an issue should not stop the upgrade.

I managed to revert to the normal kernel and upgrade to 17.04 (edit)

I just tried again and got the same error:

Errors were encountered while processing: firmware-radeon-ucode_1.50_all.deb

Thanks for posting this error log. This system looks a bit messy to be honest. There is either installed or remnants of:

• amdgpu-pro driver
• AMD ROCM
• this amdgpu dc kernel

They should not be mixed because they are not really compatible to each other. What messes up the installation of the inofficial firmware package is the installed inofficial compute-firmware from ROCM. You could just uninstall compute-firmware then the debian package should install. But I really recommend to purge the amdgpu-pro driver and the AMD ROCM stuff if you want to use the amdgpu dc kernel.

Using it without any issues on 16.04 - both the vanilla and ubuntu kernels. :) Just to make sure M-bab doesn't think it's broken for Ubuntu 16.04 itself

Wouldn't install on ubuntu 16.04.3:

That sounds pretty severe. Did you ever retried or re-downloaded the deb files? It sounds like the .deb archives are broken and this is completely unknown yet. Can you try again with 4.14.0+?

[eelstrebor]

I just tried 4.14.0+ and got the same problem. Even the firmware 1.60 gave me the same error message. I'm thinking that I'm doing something wrong but I'm not doing anything different than I did for 4.12.14+ so I don't know what's going on. 4.12.14+ still works fine.

Can you check the md5 sum? cce7da4ae329d6b328d3216f9cfe9026 firmware-radeon-ucode_1.60_all.deb

Well size and checksum are wrong. Are you sure you downloaded the debian files correctly? 1204258 Okt 31 17:41 firmware-radeon-ucode_1.60_all.deb

[eelstrebor]

Turns out that downloading by clicking on the individual files wasn't the right way to download the files. When I downloaded the zipped files the appropriate files installed OK.
