I put ubuntu 19.04 on one of my systems then realized (after everything was working) that latest AMD drivers were for 18.30.

The AMD install fails with "broken packages" messages.

This was just a minimal server install. I assume the problem is 19 and not that I put in a minimal install.

Has anyone gotten those "18" AMD ubuntu drivers to work with 19? If not, then I will have to install 18.30

[EDIT] The video board, RX-560, works fine but BOINC sees no useable GPU so I assume I need that driver.

hmm - tried just the the opencl install as explained here
https://linuxconfig.org/install-opencl-for-the-amdgpu-open-source-drivers-on-debian-and-ubuntu

didn't get too far. the amd package for 19.10 said it could only be installed on 18.04 !!!

Get:1 file:/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local ./ amdgpu-core 19.10-785425 [2,416 B]
(Reading database ... 100259 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../amdgpu-core_19.10-785425_all.deb ...
ERROR: This package can only be installed on Ubuntu 18.04.


Should have checked out the available drivers before putting in the latest & greatest ubuntiu.

No graphics card here so I am probably missing something but I am impressed that there even is a driver for 19l10 when Ubuntu 19.10 doesn't come out till October!

Actually, I missed it: The 19.10 is the version of the AMD driver, not Ubuntu

I should spotted that. I blame old age.
