Hello, I started noticing pixel glitch on my rx580 on Pop Os. I then decided to to install amdgpu- pro driver wich solved the problem but created some other issue when I do sudo apt update:
E: Failed to fetch file:/var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/./Packages File not found - /var/opt/amdgpu-pro-local/./Packages (2: No such file or directory)
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
My goal would be to remove all the amdgpu-pro dependency and reinstall the mesa driver like it was at the begining. I think I messed up everything…
Thanks for your help.
Do not install the pro driver.
The pro driver is only to be used for compute tasks.

I reverted back to the original Mesa driver but the pixel glitch came back. Is it a known issue? Is there a way to re-install those drivers?
I do not know what you mean by ‘pixel glitch’.
Ii you look at the top left corner you will see. It mainly occur when I use chrome. When I had some sort of amdgpu-pro dependency installed it didn’t append.
what happens if you try to perform the same operation from a Pop!_OS 20.04 (the one I assume you are using) live USB?
The problem is not present when im booting on a live USB…
that is good news.
Could you post the content of uname -a
as well as inform us if you have recently done a fresh installation or was an upgrade from a previous installation?
Uname -a:
Linux robocop 5.4.0-7642-generic #46~1598628707~20.04~040157c-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 28 18:02:16 UTC x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Last upgrade was made from a previous version of pop os on my pc.
I have to say that the problem first append after I removed the graphic card and re-installed it. However since than I re-seated the card and trace all the connection from the card to the power suply… When I installed the amdgpu-pro driver the “Glitch” disapeard but than I had all sort of other problems with software specifically with error message with apt.
okay now its starting to make more sense.
How exactly did you uninstall the amdgpu-pro drivers? do you still have the terminal output?
You can search your terminal history by typing history and analyzing the log.
what is the output of apt when you go to update?
Here is the output of apt update:

ah so the amdgpu-pro-local is still present so its pulling those
Yes I saw that… Im not sure how to get rid of those…
did you try this?
Uninstalling the AMD GPU-PRO Driver
If for any reason you wish to remove the AMDGPU-PRO graphics stack you can do this using the uninstallation script which was part of the installation and is present in your path. From the command prompt enter the following command:
sudo amdgpu-pro-uninstall
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-635
I tried this command this morning it was sending me Command not found… but now it worked… Go find why?
When I do apt update nothing related to amdgpu appears anymore. Great!
I rebooted, but the problem is still their…
Glad that its properly removed, now lets make sure you have all the components of the regular amdgpu

amdgpu should be built in kernel module so you shouldn’t need to do anything special for it.
