Black Screen on boot after installing amdgpu-pro Ubuntu 20.04 #23

Closed tango4567 closed 3 years ago

I want to update my driver for enhancing the graphic experience. So I googled about my graphics driver then I found AMD Radeon™ HD 8730M Series GPU Previous Drivers.

Direct download link for 👉 Ubuntu 20.04

After downloading and extracting it I triggered ./amdgpu-pro-install command on terminal. In the first attempt I got multiple errors which say

Package amdgpu-hwe not found

So I ran the following command.

sudo apt list --installed amdgpu-hwe

After that, I did uninstall amdgpu-uninstall and reinstalled it again with ./amdgpu-pro-install

This time installation took a long time for completing this operation.

Finally, all installation is done and I decided to reboot by which the system will refresh drivers and updated patches.

But something went wrong here and I am stuck on the start screen with a blinking cursor.

I googled it and realize I'm not the only person who is stuck on this issue. Solutions are very simple, I need to remove the installed package amd-gpu-install but the problem is how to enter in the terminal. Complete solutions step by step following (which is also followed by me then only I'm able to share my experience here):

  1. Alt + Ctrl + Delete for Reboot
  2. Press CTRL + ALT + F2 Login with your account
  3. Run amdgpu-pro-uninstall
  4. reboot

Note: I'm happy if you share your feedback in the comments and if you found much better options or solutions please share that as well. Thanks in advance.
