Amdgpu-experimental

General system

Tried installing this package from AUR
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/amdgpu-experimental/

It does work with stock Arch.

I tried in RebornOS and it has the same error.

$ yay -S amdgpu-experimental

moved to general system, not a BUG as AUR builds are not developed by EndeavourOS :wink:

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/?h=amdgpu-experimental
but indeed this is strange:

==> ERROR: install file (endeavouros.install) does not exist or is not a regular file.

This package only consists of config files which set the following options:

# Enable experimental hardware support in generall
options amdgpu exp_hw_support=1

# Enable amdgpu for Southern Island (SI) generations
options amdgpu si_support=1 
options radeon si_support=0

# Enable amdgpu for Sea Island (CIK) generations
options amdgpu cik_support=1 
options radeon cik_support=0

# Enable experimental hardware support in generall
options amdgpu deep_color=1

I think you can just set these options manually.

because of this?

install="$(/usr/bin/tail -n 1 /usr/lib/os-release | /usr/bin/cut -d= -f2).install"

The package doesn’t seem to come with any install file.

it reads install="$(/usr/bin/tail -n 1 /usr/lib/os-release | /usr/bin/cut -d= -f2).install" what is unneeded and strange as it will only work on archlinux and the file already is called archlinux.install

changing to install=archlinux.install should work

and this file is there:

I didn’t think it was necessary to rebuild an initramfs after setting a module option as those files were read on boot? :thinking:

Maybe it’s for the case where you insert the modules into the initram?

as @anon31687413 pointed out, it’s because of the line

install="$(/usr/bin/tail -n 1 /usr/lib/os-release | /usr/bin/cut -d= -f2).install"

That checks the last part of the last line in /usr/lib/os-release and uses this as filename for the install file. Since I only ship an “archlinux.install” it will only work for archlinux, or distros who do use the archlinux logo file or have a workaround for this.

This is intended, since I only want to support what I can test.

You can change the line to

install="archlinux.install"

and it could work. Would be nice to have some feedback so I could put in an EnOS install file and make it just work.
