Has anyone been able to get Phoenix working on Ubuntu? I have it working however I cannot get the AMD pro driver's installed so it will not recognize any GPUs

I am using ./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless and it locks up at 96% on Building initial module for 5.4.0-42-generic....any ideas?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.1 and ive tried the 20.30 and 20.40 drivers

Thanks

You need 4Gb more system RAM (i use 8Gb) for build module. amdgpupro-20.30+ may allocate dag file over 4gb, tested on phoenix -bench 390 on RX580 8Gb (4.15 Gb allocated...), mining without errors but hashrate unstable, TRM more stable with this driver version.

You sure you need that much system memory for Ubuntu? I remember a few years back I was building rigs during the profitable days of 2017 mining and I found myself run out of system ram on my last rig. Basically had everything except 2GB sticks of ram, system only had 2GB. So I tried Claymore and at the time the DAG was maybe 2.5-3.0GB or so and it wouldn't work.

I decided to try out Ubuntu and see if it will work with only 2GB of ram, figured I had nothing to lose. So I tried it and it actually worked. Was able to mine on 2GB of system RAM on a DAG larger than 2GB. So it might be possible to mine with 4GB of ram as long as its Linux instead of Windows.

8Gb system memory need only for build last amdgpu module (20.10, 20.20, 20.30, 20.40), mining working with 2Gb but i have 4Gb modules on other my rig's.

I am not following what the DAG has to do with building the initial module as how would the driver's know you are mining. Many other software suites use opencl/compute besides mining?

I'm just talking about the fact that when assembling the next new amdgpu module on my PC with ubuntu, the build process ended with an error, after looking at the build log, I will see a message that the system memory is not enough, I was surprised, but after increasing the amount of RAM on this PC the module compiled.
About the dag file. the amd drivers had a restriction on creating a buffer in memory of more than 4GB, and since driver version 20.30 there is no such restriction, I checked it personally on version 20.30 and PhoenixMiner-5.1c with the -bench 390 parameter.

Mine does not end with an error, it just locks up and have to do a hard reboot. Is there a way I can check for errors it would release prior to lockup?
