Can't login after installing AMDGPU-PRO 16.60
EDIT: I managed to fix my problem by installing the px and compute packages for amdgpu-pro (though I doubt the compute packages made the difference).
From the installation folder, run:
amdgpu-pro-install --px
You will be prompted for confirmation twice -- once to uninstall, and once to install. Then reboot.
OLD (semi-)answer:
It looks like the screen is running from the Intel graphics card (i915). Does your laptop have switchable graphics?
As a temporary fix, you can try running a window manager without a compositor -- I've found that Xmonad works fine in my setup. Though anything 3D-accellerated will not work.
I am facing a similar problem (same symptoms) on my laptop, which has Intel graphics. It seems the packages installed by amdgpu-pro are incompatible with the non-AMD drivers included in Ubuntu, looking for this is64bitelf
symbol.
This is also described here: undefined symbol: is64bitelf
Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to open the shell. Now you can login and navigate to the amdgpu setup folder.
Now type this:
./amdgpu-pro-install --px
And hit return.
This issue arises, when the AMD graphics card conflicts with the inbuilt or on-motherboard graphics driver. The command above will first uninstall the previous installation and then reinstall with --px parameter.
I had the same symptom. I'm running NVIDIA and AMD RX580. Using --px
didn't do it for me. I had to install with the ./amdgpu-pro-install --compute
option only.
I'm not using the rx580 for a display.
