SOLUTION:

I was missing this package sudo dnf install rocm-hip-devel as per instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/HC

Hi, I’m trying to get GPU acceleration on AMD to work in Blender 4.1 but I can’t seem to be able to. From what I’ve seen it should be working with ROCm just fine but I had no luck with it.

I’m using Fedora 40 GNOME with Wayland and my GPU is RX 6800 XT.

System is up to date. I’ve also installed all these packages:

sudo dnf install rocminfo

sudo dnf install rocm-opencl

sudo dnf install rocm-clinfo

sudo dnf install rocm-hip

and restarted system after.

rocminfo gives me this

rocm-clinfo gives me this

    Did you try COSMIC before?

    You can do so on PopOS or I guess also Ubuntu. I personally use ublue Cosmic

    davinci resolve may also run better in a docker / podman container

    There also is a flatpak script that you should try. You need to download the binary for proprietary reasons, but packaging it as flatpak will assure

    • it runs sandboxed
    • it should just run
    • it will not break with system updates

      I did try and I like it a lot but I don’t want to daily drive testing build.

      Wasn’t aware of the flatpack script, will check it out, thx!

        COSMIC is not so much “testing” as in “many bugs”, I basically found none. But they just lack maaany essential features. It is really breat to get a desktop that implements nice fancy stuff from Plasma etc. straight from the beginning.

        I am not sure how ready it will be when it launches, as in features. But it is pretty nice and the apps are damn fast. I use the appstore on Fedora Kinoite when searching Flatpak apps. It has no native package integration so it does what I want, really nice.
