AMD OpenCL Ubuntu 22.04 not working with Darktable

Software darktable

Hi.

I thought I succeeded in installing OpenCL on AMD on Ubuntu 22.04. At least, clinfo -l writes:

Platform #0: AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing

However, it doesn’t work in darktable. When started with -d opencl -d perf flags, it writes:

[opencl_init] opencl related configuration options:
[opencl_init] opencl: ON
[opencl_init] opencl_scheduling_profile: 'default'
[opencl_init] opencl_library: 'default path'
[opencl_init] opencl_device_priority: '*/!0,*/*/*'
[opencl_init] opencl_mandatory_timeout: 200
[opencl_init] opencl_synch_cache: false
[opencl_init] opencl library 'libOpenCL' found on your system and loaded
[opencl_init] found 1 platform
[opencl_init] could not get device id: CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND
[opencl_init] found 0 device
[opencl_init] FINALLY: opencl is NOT AVAILABLE on this system.
[opencl_init] initial status of opencl enabled flag is OFF.

Can you help me to make it run?

I’m using Ubuntu 22.04, kernel 5.15.0-46-generic, AMD Radeon RX 550 Series.

Many thanks.

Hi Michal, as far as I know, ATI drivers lacks OpenCL image support in linux (at least a year ago), required by darktable.
MESA drivers developers are working to add this feature in their code, but I don’t know if this is released, yet.
This is the link to a branch in github containing their work: https://github.com/vedranmiletic/mesa/tree/r600-image-support.

On Tumbleweed I had to additionally install ROCm stuff, then opencl worked fine.

@apostel338 Could you possibly elaborate on which rocm files should I install? There are quite many of them. Thanks.

I’m sorry that I can’t exactly tell. I’ve left linux for a while now and haven’t used it much. But I think rocm-opencl is all I needed (and its dependencies). I probably also added my user to video + render group.

If starting from scratch, try this:

  1. Download and install the latest Radeon installer package for Ubuntu from AMD.
  2. Open a terminal and run:

amdgpu-install -y --usecase=opencl --no-dkms

sudo usermod -a -G render $LOGNAME

  1. Restart your computer

This should give you a minimal and open source only installation of AMD OpenCL that works with darktable.

Alternatively, if you’re sure you have already installed the latest version of AMD OpenCL correctly, you may just need to run one of the following and then restart your computer:

sudo usermod -a -G render $LOGNAME

or

sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME

The terminal output you posted indicates that OpenCL may be installed, but it can’t see your graphics card (“[opencl_init] found 0 device”).

Pity, I got the same result as Raj: Number of devices: 0.

I am getting the same. Linux Mint 20.3 here with AMD A4-7210 APU with AMD Radeon R3 Graphics × 4

I followed @inquisitvepand’s instructions. Darktable starts with

$ darktable -d opencl -d perf

[opencl_init] FINALLY: opencl is NOT AVAILABLE on this system.

I have installed Intel Neo driver for my i7 8700 inbuilt 630 GPU and opencl is available but am not sure about its performance. Will do some testing.

In the meantime I request all DT users using AMD card and using Ubuntu 22.04 or equivalent distros for help.
By the way everything was working with Ubuntu 20.04 and previous AMD driver for this Distro.

11

Ok, I just upgraded the GPU in my desktop system and I might be able to help a bit. I am by no means a GPU expert, nor a darktable developer. I’m just a retired computer programmer/programming manager with a long history of digging into inscrutable technical documentation and trying to make sense of it all…

For the record, I am currently using Ubuntu 22.04. I was using a Radeon RX 580 in my desktop and it worked well with OpenCL under 20.04.

However, with my upgrade to 22.04, I decided to upgrade my GPU. I replaced the RX 580 today with a Radeon RX 6650 XT. I used inquisitivepanda’s instructions for the install and they worked for ME. BUT my new GPU is a current model - not an older model like my RX 580.

My RX 580 - like Michal Kvasnička’s RX 550 - is an older GPU architecture and so you need to change the amdgpu-install command a bit. So, when you’re installing the AMD software, you HAVE TO make sure what generation your GPU is. In the case of the RX 550/580, it’s older than Vega 10, and here’s what AMD says about that in the install instructions:

There are two OpenCL implementations available:
. ROCr: Provides support for Vega 10 and newer hardware.
. Legacy: Provides support for hardware older than Vega 10.

So to install OpenCL for a legacy product like the RX 550/580, you need to specify:
–opencl=legacy
in your command line.

It also appears that Rajkhand’s A4-7210 would also be a legacy product. But…

GPU drivers and related software like OpenCL are fearsomely complex. And while it’s not official by any means, if you look at:
Wikipedia’s List of AMD graphics processing units
You will notice that the line indicating ‘AMD Support’ goes back only so far. Older stuff MAY NOT work with the legacy OpenCL driver - I really don’t know.

Forgive my ignorance, but where do you add that option to the command line given

amdgpu-install -y --usecase=opencl --no-dkms
??

13

The amdgpu-install command has a lot of options, which you can see with command:
amdgpu-install --help

And there is also the command:
amdgpu-install --list-usecase
which gives you a list of all the use cases

The --list-usecase command returns the following tidbit (along with all the possible use-cases):

If --usecase option is not present, the default selection is
"dkms,graphics,opencl,hip"

So, you should be able to issue the command:
amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics,hip --opencl=legacy --no-dkms

Which I think would be the equivalent of the command you quoted, while allowing you to specify the legacy OpenCL driver. HOWEVER, I have not tried this myself. I don’t have a desktop with a GPU that needs a legacy OpenCL driver.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When I installed the 20.04 version of amdgpu-install a couple of years ago the documentation had a lot of discussion about the --usecase= parameters. In the current version, --usecase= item isn’t even mentioned - meaning that most people will get the default values, which are listed above.

The --opencl=legacy option - I believe - requires the operator to accept an end-user license agreement (EULA) for the licensed software that’s being installed. I believe the -y switch automatically accepts the EULA for you. The non-legacy version is open source, so no EULA is needed.

Hope this helps.

14

Appreciate the help, but it didn’t work. I did get it to install after reading on AMDs website. I think I installed way more than I needed, not to worry however. Oh and yes, it did pop up a text box to get me to accept the EULA.

Unfortunately Darktable still cannot use opencl on my system (same startup message)

15

Getting following error
ERROR: using '--no-dkms' with '--opencl=legacy' is not supported
can someone explain meaning of --no-dkms and why it is required?

16

This works for me on ubuntu 22.04 with my AMD RX-570

amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics --opencl=legacy

Hi.

I tried amdgpu-install -y --usecase=graphics --opencl=legacy but got the following error (sorry for the Czech):

E: Nelze najít balík clinfo-amdgpu-pro
E: Nelze najít balík opencl-legacy-amdgpu-pro-icd

In words, apt cannot find these two packages. How have you solved this problem? These two packages aren’t mentioned in the link @Rajkhand mentioned.

Best wishes,
Michal

In my case I never had this error. As I am not an expert for many days I was experimenting, installing/uninstalling various things, but am not sure why today I was able to get success so I am sending you my terminal History file of all the trial and errors of past many days. I only got success in line 917.
Hope some expert can analyze and shade some light

There’s this from the archives, with several different ways to install OpenCL from ROCm: How to install AMD ROCm for OpenCL support

I hope someone finds this helpful.

DKMS refers to Linux’s Dynamic Kernel Module Support. The error message is saying that a dynamically loaded kernel module is required for legacy OpenCL support.

I’m not on a Linux machine at the moment, but you should be able to find the tools to build kernel modules pretty readily.
