Yes you can finally mine Ethereum on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Download AMDGPU-Pro Driver Version 16.30 released by AMD.

The basics of the install:
1. download amdgpu-pro_16.30.3-306809.tar.xz
2. extract the compressed file to your home folder or somewhere.
3. goto that folder and now run the installation script "sudo ./amdgpu-pro-install"

For reference here is AMD's page:

support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-GPU-PRO-Linux-Beta-Driver%E2%80%93Release-Notes.aspx

And here is the direct link to the compressed file:
https://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amdgpu-pro_16.30.3-306809.tar.xz
NOTE: You have to extract the compressed file and then run the script to install the driver to make opencl devices detectable (for ethminer, oclhashcat, etc.)
I am using 6 - RX 480 (4GB model ) in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Stock settings. I believe the ram is at 7000mhz vs 8000 mhz in 8GB version.

Preliminary benchmarks
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Driver is 16.30 for Linux
Genoil 1.1.7
2 - XFX 4gb rx 480
4 - Sapphire 4gb rx 480

Doing about 134-139 mh/s. I'd say its doing about 22.5 or 23mh/s in Ubuntu 16.04 in stock mode.
Next up is finding out how to overclock/undervolt GPUs in Ubuntu 16.04 with atitweak or something else

Try to build sgminer for freq/volt control (and report back)

[wlefever]

Got 3 more 480s today and hooked them up right away so 4 total now(2 XFX with backplate, 1 Powercolor, 1 Sapphire 4gb).  Getting between 91-92.5 mh/s in stock mode on Ubuntu 16.04.

I am still trying to figure out how to check gpu temps, adjust fan speeds and power limits.  Having a hard time finding any more info though!  Once again greaterninja thanks for getting me set up!

The drivers do work ? . gonna give it a try i saw them up on AMD sites the other day was waiting for some one to post good way to load them gonna try now .

thanks

If anyone interested, i will release Simple Plug adn Mine OS in 24h.
It is mainly for RX 480 but 3xx and 2xx will also work.
Still overclocking doesnt work

For this mining we need to have any hardware specifics,if it is means what type of hardware we required, and also what system configurations reuired...Pls suggest me some one.

Thanks in Advance.

This looks interesting but the fee is too high for me.

I  run ethminer on ubuntu 16.04 with amdgpu-pro_16.30.3-306809 driver, I can only get 4M hashrate.
I use one SAPPHIRE 8G RX480
dmesg show :

amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: GPU fault detected: 147 0x0bd00401
amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: VM_CONTEXT1_PROTECTION_FAULT_ADDR 0x0645DF74
amdgpu 0000:01:00.0: VM_CONTEXT1_PROTECTION_FAULT_STATUS 0x0E0C4001

I don't know how to slove this problem.

[toptek]

well when ever some one actually gets it working without  error in ubuntu 16 like it does with ubuntu 15 or before . ill try again i either get the error like langxxl listed or no cards found.

but if I use ubuntu 15 or before no issues.
   


@ tytanick



i tired your image all it did was make my screen flash then nothing .. i don't think I'm gonna use it any way the fee is way to high as others have said .once ubuntu  16 fully supports AMD we won't need it, most will make then own install.

I installed the latest Ubuntu 16.04 updates and now getting stuck in a memtest86+ and when I reboot it just goes back into the test.  I've searched all over and tried going through this thread https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1599293 but I really don't know what I am doing and everything seems to turn back error messages!  Why did this install and seemingly do away with Ubuntu on my rig?

The grub is only showing:
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

Thanks!

EDIT:  Was able to get into BIOS and ended up having to re install Ubuntu from a USB.   Now to start this process over again

Next issue I am running into is my system freezing up after about 8 hrs every time I start mining on Genoil.

My set up is currently:

• 4 RX 480's 3 - 8 GB and 1 - 4 GB
  
• Intel Celeron G1840 Processor
• Crucial Ballistix 8GB
• Kingston Digital 120 GB
• EVGA 1300 G2 psu
• I've got 4 seperate sata power cables for the pci-e powered risers.

Software:

• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64 bit
• Driver is 16.30 for Linux
• Genoil 1.1.7 mining on Dwarfpool proxy with pool setting:

            ethminer --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://localhost:8080/0x6c2....

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  What could be causing the total system hang up generally after 8-10 hours of run time?

Edit: now getting shorter cut offs. May just give in and get Windows

Did you check the temperature?Try to underclock and watch.

Did you check the temperature?Try to underclock and watch.

Temps are staying at or under 80c consistently so it doesn't appear to be the issue to my knowledge.  Not sure how to underclock in Linux.

[DraneDC5]

do you know if this driver works on r9 290x? it specifies it on the amd website but every time i install it and reboot, i get a black screen before i have a chance to sign into ubuntu.
