Can't load OpenCL runtime / or fails to load for xmrig
9,885
I finally found instructions that work!
I've tried to install OpenCl from numerous instructions I found all around the web. Most were an exercise in frustration. This is the one that worked for me. https://gist.github.com/kytulendu/3351b5d0b4f947e19df36b1ea3c95cbe

I have updated from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04. While doing so the uprade failed and I ended up doing a fresh install of 20.04. Fortunately, I have my home folder on another drive so that was saved. There was still a lot to recover. The last item I am stuck on is getting my AMD Radeon 580 GPU working. AMD does not support drivers for Ubuntu after 16.04. I tried installing OPENCL from this below page. And, I hope I installed the right software.

While following along with the advice of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efKjfBkjPlM
The object is to do a bit of GPU crypto mining using the xmrig program while my computer is idle.
To check for successful completion I have rocminfo and clinfo comands.
Result of rocminfo is:

I know that this means there is no owner 1001.
drwxrwxr-x 5 1001 1001 4096 May 17 22:28 openclI changed owner to root. Then I ran the clinfo command agaion, but that made no difference.
The program which I am trying to run is xmrig.
Here is the error line:
./xmrig ... * OPENCL disabled (failed to load OpenCL runtime)Also note, that I have not run this xmrig mining program before, that is while on 16.04. I had used a different miner at that time.
Thank you in advance.
