Bug 109758

You need to share first how you manage to find all and any software bugs and how you test your software on all and any existing architectures and with all and any existing other software, before you publish your software.

Feel free to discuss whatever the problem is in a forum of your distribution as this bug report is unactionable, vague, and in the wrong place.

Unactionable is not a word. I told you to put warnings when you know that
the download you offer people is going to break their computer.

I am aware that the following not improve your past situation, but please
keep in mind for the future, that for a regular linux user, there is
currently 0 reasons to choose the proprietary close source amdgpu-pro.

Use the default all opensource instead. It was demonstrated multiple times
that they offer better performance, and robustness. See various articles,
forum posts, reddit/r/linux_gaming, phoronix, etc.

 And also, due to their nature of being packed together with all distros,
are much wider tested by the audience with a much broader hardware
combination. As a added bonus, you can also use the latest and greatest
bleeding endge mesa+kernel(not just that you can, but also highly
recommended) and completely forget about dkms breakage.

It is, see https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unactionable

I have no idea which "download" you refer to, why you think that bugs.freedesktop.org is a place to discuss your problem, or what exact software and software versions you refer to, so nobody can and will help.

And again: please contact Ubuntu folks about Ubuntu problems. 
You are in the wrong place here. Please understand that. Thanks.

Most certainly is an AMD issue, download Ubuntu, download the AMD driver,
it breaks. Your advice is to just not download the drivers, great. How you
rationalize that as acceptable is astounding if I could get a refund I
would just switch to NVidia.

My advice is to write a proper bug report (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs ) in the proper place (your distribution's issue tracker). Great!

Regarding "refund" blah: Contact the company whose product you're using. freedesktop.org is not a company. Hence no "refund". Not here. Bye.

I don't need your help I was telling you that distributing malware is
unacceptable. I would consider any software designed to break a person's
computer to be malware, hence the download offered by AMD that tells you to
report bugs to this website. I do not expect a refund from you as you are
clearly spearheading your campaign of irresponsibility and continuing to
make sure that nothing will ever be done right.

You need to contact your distribution (Ubuntu) and not bugs.freedesktop.org if someone distributes something.
But I've written this several times already and you continue to ignore it. :)

My distribution works fine with RX570.

I suspect part of the confusion here is that the component was set incorrectly. "DRM/AMDgpu" is the amdgpu driver included in the upstream Linux kernel, whereas Thomas seems to be complaining about a packaged release provided by AMD, which is "DRM/AMDgpu-pro".

Obviously you're used to nvidia/windows way on doing things. You are on
linux now. Opensource is the whole philosophy. So yes, please just use the
free/opensource drivers that come bundled with your favorite distro. This
is the preferred way to go with AMD hardware.

Here's the Radeon 7 with opensource amd drivers:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon-vii-linux&num=1

Benchmarks between different mesa versions, so using an ubuntu ppa such as
oibaf or pandoka does matter to get the newest stack and best performance:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=mesa182-4-july&num=1

And.. the icing on a cake, the comparison between opensource radeonsi and
closed source (amdgpu-pro/radeon software aka the one you've downloaded):
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon-software-1820&num=1

As you can see, apart from the fact that the closed source one is kind of
behind in performance, it also has some issues running some of the
benchmarks (aka it crashes), hence your experience.

So, in conclusion, yes. For polaris, on linux, use opensource drivers. If
you've messed up the distro with alot of experiments and closed source
driver installations, perhaps it would be better a fresh install and just
use mesa/llvm packages from pandoka ppa stable with a recent ubuntu
mainline kernel.

Goodluck,
Cheers!
