I’ve done some digging, and I can’t figure out why this is happening. PopOS app store also keeps wanting me to install the same driver over and over again. I should also note that nvidia-settings gave me these errors of “g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed” and “PRIME: Failed to execute child process (No such file or directory). It also shows up when I do “sudo lshw -c video” However, if I do “lspci | grep VGA” to see if the graphics card is even being recognized, it shows up just fine with no issues. The driver (nvidia_driver_470) seemed to install just fine, but nvidia-smi is giving me the error message of “No devices were found”. I should note this worked with my 5700XT but since my card is a Navi and yours is an Islands based card I cannot guarantee this will work for you (though theres no reason why it shouldn't).Hello! I just put a fresh install of Pop!_OS on a laptop with a 1060 max q. Now in Blender you can go in to Preferences and enable OpenCL rendering. amdgpu-pro-install -y -opencl=legacy,pal If you've already installed the Pro driver you need to uninstall first (obviously skip this is you haven't installed it yet)Ĭhange directory to the root of the driver You need to specify that you want it to install OpenCL. I did some digging and again you're correct, you do need the pro driver to fix the issue but its not as simple as just installing the driver. By default Blender does not use my 5700 XT. So I just spent half an hour playing around on my Ubuntu install to see if I could replicate your issue and you're correct. Sorry For the late reply, but here's what that outputs:
