Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
You're using MX 18 now? If so, just open up Synaptic and search for "kernel realtime", though you should also be asking those questions on the MX forums and not here. We have the 4.19 realtime kernel available, though you can also install the Liquorix kernel easily in the MX Package Installer under "Kernels" and have them all available as boot options.
Don't randomly install some 4.16 rt kernel deb from $(DEITY) knows where.

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Question to Stevepusser,
Which forum do you suggest for MX18 related questions ?
The only one I could find is on LinuxQuestions.org.
Is that the main forum ?

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Yes I do.
See my post as I did not see yours.
It already solved all my bluetooth problems I had unexpectedly as well as jittery sound with Debian Stretch.
Really great distro !

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Hello ,
i have also this card RX560 and just upgraded to Debian Stretch.
What is the best way to install drivers for this card on Debian 9?
Should i install Amdgpu like shown here
https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... etch-linux
Should i download and install official AMD Driver
https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics ... eon-rx-560
or is there another way that is more preferable?
Thanks

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Thanks ,
i just installed Debian Buster,
and it stalls with no Desktop (GNome) and fails completely with (KDE).
Quite an experience. It seems since Wheezy Debian has gone a long way in complicating the user experience.
I wonder why the installer is not picking up the correct driver for the RX560 or what is the problem here?
I have 2 monitors connected.

apt install firmware-amd-graphics
i would then boot into "recovery"
and try to enable contrib and non-free in the sources.list but it would not do
the apt-get update afterwards complaining of deb.debian.org not found etc.
The firmware-amd-graphics is not found in Main repository.
Total fail.

Yes, you're not doing well, are you?mrkapqa wrote:Total fail.
Boot with the systemd.unit=multi-user.target kernel command line parameter to disable the graphical desktop, use ifupdown or nmcli to connect then add the non-free component to your sources, update the package database and install the non-free firmware required by your graphics card.
Debian is intended for competent GNU/Linux users so if you find this all a bit challenging then you could try something like MX Linux instead until you get the hang of things.

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Hei!
Thanks for the heads-up!
Obviously the internet was working fine as i was able to install DEbian Buster thanks to the NetInstaller.
For some unknown reason, the DVD Iso images has failed on my computer, and i tested this several times. Maybe it does not recognize the DVD-RW or there is some bug in the installer.
So, as Debian seems "dependent" on Internet, i am wondering, why the "recovery" mode does shut me off from it?
Yes, that was an epic fail, poor me.

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
I am sorry not be able to investigate this issue atm as i resorted to Ubuntu LTS.
No issue at all with RX560 out of the box.
I am using Debian since Squeeze/Wheezy and am really a novice user with a fair understanding of computer , but i seem do not fail to notice when quality control is deteriorating.
Sorry for the rant, that were too many errors at the same time (no graphics on gnome AND KDE, no internet at recovery etc.) - so it is fair to blame it on my poor understanding of Debian.

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Poor is, what poorly does, and i cannot blame Ubuntu for perfectly functioning here.
I would never have thought to state this, but i would no longer recommend Debian over Ubuntu, and i tested also quite a lot.
Most of my Linux machines still run Debian Wheezy, but with Jessie onwards things just went out of my reach.
So all of you, thanks for the development of Debian , but i hope someone can hear this up the echelon and do something about it.
A "new" operating system i think should be able to correctly interpret a graphics card from 2017-2018, otherwise , there is no point in selecting a Desktop Environment at all, and it is my understanding, that GNOME is still the most favored of the Debian Project.

Nope, no developers visit here.mrkapqa wrote:i hope someone can hear this up the echelon
I'm using Debian buster with a Vega 8 graphics card (same generation as your RX560) and it works very well indeed, better than in Win10 in fact.mrkapqa wrote:A "new" operating system i think should be able to correctly interpret a graphics card from 2017-2018
Debian cannot include the non-free firmware that your device requires because it violates their Social Contract. Now **** off to Ubuntu and stop bothering us with your ignorant nonsense.

i was not asking for the non-free firmware, but to boot into working Gnome3 Desktop Environment, which obviously i was not able to.
As a resort, i remember the post from our friend here, advised a little more up to install the firmware as the prefered way to get good graphics driver.
So i am wondering, what sort of recovery should i resort to, if the recovery mode does automatically cut me "off the cloud" ..
someone should get some developers involved and ask them this.
...and off i am.

this seems complicated to me. does this apply also on a VirtualBox?
i would like to add that i did a "fresh install" on a SSD (RyzenPC with dedicated RX560 Graphics) so i am really wondering why this happens. The RX560 is a reformulated RX460 if i understood correctly. Should lead to a graphical environment, if selected, on Debian 10.
+the recovery offers no internet connectivity?
+the DVD installer seems faulty again (hence i resorted to USB > no DVD line is added to sources.list > no internet > no package installs.

Re: AMD RX560 on Debian Stretch - Not supported?
Because that card needs non-free firmware to work properly, as has already been explained several times in this thread.mrkapqa wrote:i did a "fresh install" on a SSD (RyzenPC with dedicated RX560 Graphics) so i am really wondering why this happens.
Not unless you install the non-free firmware. So that card isn't supported by the official Debian release but the necessary packages are available from the non-free component of the Debian repositories.mrkapqa wrote:The RX560 is a reformulated RX460 if i understood correctly.

AFAIUI, only a limited number of services are started in recovery mode so the networking services must be excluded. It is certainly possible to connect from the recovery mode though and booting to multi-user.target should leave you with the networking enabled.mrkapqa wrote:+the recovery offers no internet connectivity?

i tried once more to install this (now with Debian-10-Gnome-Live.iso)
where should i enter this "systemd.unit=multi-user.target command line?
If i press "E" @Grub there comes a very long list of commands.
Mode 2, to regain Network-Connectivity:
In recovery mode, the command
"ifupdown" is unknown
and "nmcli" gives no result
and "ifconfig eth0 up" is not working in recovery because "ifconfig" is apparently no longer included since Stretch.
Very smart Debian

i would insert it in line "linux" after "quiet" -
now it is booting into recovery with Internet capabilities again.
but installing
apt install firmware-amd-graphics
solved nothing.
