How to install AMDGPU-PRO drivers in 16.10?

Try this:

  1. Edit amdgpu-pro-install in amdgpu-pro-driver folder.
  2. Modify line number 67 with this:

    echo ${dir}${etc}${dir}${sourceparts}/amdgpu-pro.list
    
  3. Save it.

  4. Try to install again

In my case it has worked, the driver was installed but only on kernel 4.4, not in the new 4.8. Can someone confirm this?


At the time of writing, AMDGPU-PRO does not support Ubuntu 16.10; 16.10 uses Linux 4.8 and AMDGPU-PRO "is only intended to work with Linux 4.7 kernels and older while the official focus is on Linux 4.4 of Ubuntu 16.04." Source.

You may be able to do some hacking to get it to work, such as this user's workaround, but this is obviously unsupported and could affect system stability.
