Install RX 580 Mining Drivers on Debian Based Distributions

Use wget to download AMD drivers.

Extract archive.

tar xf amdgpu-pro-20.45-1164792-ubuntu-20.04.tar.xz

Change directory

cd amdgpu-pro-20.45-1164792-ubuntu-20.04

Install AMD Drivers

./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless

If you run into issues with it saying “Unsupported DEB based OS” Refer to the following article.

Unsupported DEB-based OS: /etc/os-release ID ‘kali’

Unsupported DEB-based OS: /etc/os-release ID ‘kali’

Unsupported DEB-based OS: /etc/os-release ID ‘kali’. You can get the above error if you try to install AMD drivers on Kali Linux. Looks like by default they are looking for a system that is Ubuntu, LinuxMint or Debian.

You can resolve the issue by opening up the “amdgpu-pro-install” file and adding more OS’s that it can check for.

vi ./amdgpu-pro-install

Scroll down to line 147 where is says

ubuntu|linuxmint|debian) 

and change it to

ubuntu|linuxmint|debian|kali)

The code function should look like the following.

142 function os_release() {
143         if [[ -r  /etc/os-release ]]; then
144                 . /etc/os-release
145
146                 case "$ID" in
147                 ubuntu|linuxmint|debian|kali)
148                         :
149                         ;;
150                 *)
151                         echo "Unsupported DEB-based OS: `
152                                 `/etc/os-release ID '$ID'" | stderr
153                         exit 1
154                         ;;
155                 esac
156         else
157                 echo "Unsupported OS" | stderr
158                 exit 1
159         fi
160 }
