Title: New 17.40 drivers and large page size on Ubuntu installation problem Vega 56
Post by: LowByter on October 31, 2017, 08:13:27 PM
Well the new drivers should use more of AMD Vega potential so I rushed to install Ubuntu and the new drivers but have problems...Claymore or Ethminer just won't mine...I have this problem:

Cannot build OpenCL program for GPU

So I have a question since I don't know much about Ubuntu...

Are these drivers installed ok, this is the report:

~$ dpkg -l amdgpu-proDesired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
