Revisiting the previous blog and freshly reinstalling Fedora Design Suite due to a busted boot, I look at the
official guideline from AMD Driver for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 and write a way to improve the process of installing on Fedora 29 in this example.
Extracting the tarball contains the following:
amdgpu-installamdgpu-pro-install symlink to amdgpudoc folderrepodata folderRPMS folder containing rpm package
Executing the command ./amdgpu-install -opencl=pal --headless sadly failed on Fedora on that line:
./amdgpu-install -y --opencl=pal --headless

No match for argument: amdgpu
Upon closer look, the script failed to created a temporary repository on
/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local probably explaining why amdgpu metapackage name failed to display. Someone should investigate and provide a fix. At least, we find out Fedora support is available but unofficial.
Due to its design, Gnome Software only allows one cli…
