Ubuntu 16.04 Setup
Based on AMD official guide http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Install.aspx
Using the following command at a terminal will provide you with the version of the AMDGPU-Pro stack on your system, or inform you that there are no packages found:
$ dpkg -l amdgpu-pro
Download the proper driver http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
If you have headless system with only ssh access download wherever you like and copy with scp command:
$ scp downloadedDriver user@yourInstallationHost:/tmp/downloadedDriver
Then extract and install:
$ cd /tmp
$ tar -Jxvf amdgpu-pro_16.30.3-315407.tar.xz
$ amdgpu-pro-driver/amdgpu-pro-install
Ensure that your user account is a member of the "video" group. You can find which groups you are a member of with the following command:
$ groups
$ sudo usermod -a -G video $LOGNAME
If you have physical access you will need to log out and in again to activate this change otherwise if in ssh reboot.
Check if OpenCl detects your GPUs:
$ clinfo
If you have a headless system, try to install and configure xorg-video-dummy to make system believe a monitor is installed:
$ sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-dummy
$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (or your preferred editor ex. nano)
Then write:
