SDB Talk:AMDGPU-PRO

Jump to: navigation, search

So, I tried following these steps, using both the 18.40 and the 18.50 archive from AMD:

- Start YaST2, with the help of menu - Click Software Repositories in the YaST Control Center - Click Add, select "Local directory" and click Next - Enter the path to directory (e. g. /tmp/amdgpu-pro-18.40-673869) and choose a name (AMD for example) for the repository - Click OK - Accept the repository gpg key - Ensure its status is "enabled" and "refresh automatically" is also on

When adding the repository, YaST complains like this:

The file repomd.xml from repository AMDGPU-PRO
dir:/home/dario/Downloads/amdgpu-pro-18.50-756340-sle-15
is not digitally signed. The origin and integrity of the file
cannot be verified. Using the file anyway puts the integrity of your
system at risk.

Use it anyway?

And if I say 'Yes', then, when trying to install one of the packages, I see:

 Retrieving package amdgpu-core-18.50-756340.noarch
 (1/2),   7,6 KiB (  7,6 KiB unpacked)
 amdgpu-core-18.50-756340.noarch.rpm:
     Package is not signed!
 
 amdgpu-core-18.50-756340.noarch (AMDGPU-PRO): Signature verification failed [6-File is unsigned]
 Abort, retry, ignore? [a/r/i] (a):

So, basically, there's no "Accept the repository gpg key" phase, and there are complaints about unsigned packages.

I appreciate that this is, most likely, not an issue, and that it's more a problem of AMD's archive than an openSUSE's one.

Nevertheless, I think the guide in this page should mention these issues, as well as recommend/guide the user toward what's best to answer to these questions.
