I upgraded my trusty old GTX1060 to a RX7600XT. Everything works as it should except for blender. It doesn't find the GPU as a rendering device.

Since the driver manager states "No drivers needed" and when running glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version" in the terminal, it outputs OpenGL version string: 4.6 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 24.2.8-1ubuntu1~24.04.1 I figured I had all important drivers installed.

I don't know why blender won't find the GPU. Do you have any advice for a newbie?

sys specsLinux Mint 22 Cinnamon Linux Kernel 6.8.0-53-generic CPU Ryzen 7 5800x GPU RX7600XT MoBo MSI B550A-Pro RAM 16 GB @3600mHz

Solution: Didn't have ROCm installed. For anyone with the same issue, here is a link to the guide I used. I don't know if these were necessary for the solution, but here are the amd drivers, just in case ;)

No new kernel versions listed for update in c/linux@lemmy.ml

I am upgrading my GPU soon, and wanted to prepared, if I'd need to upgrade kernel for new drivers. Flirted with an intel GPU for a bit and read that 6.11(?) was recommended. But I decided to got AMD so, that may be unnecessary now.

No new kernel versions listed for update (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I am running Linux Mint 22 with Cinnamon v6.2.9 on kernel v6.8.0-53-generic and would like to upgrade to a newer kernel. I tried via the update Manager, but the newest kernel listed is the one already in use and I am wondering why?

  • Are the kernels listed based on my hardware?
  • Is my Cinnamon version too old for newer kernels?
  • Is my Mint Version too old for newer kernels?
  • Do I need to update my BIOS? I was too scared to do that in the past three years I owned my system.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU AMD Ryzen 7 5800x
  • GPU nVidia GTX 1060 6GB
  • 16 GB RAM @ 3600mHz
  • MoBo MSI B550 A-Pro

I quite new to Linux and don't really know what I am doing. Therefore, if you need any other information I'll be happy to provide it.
