Hello.
I have first posted this on Reddit but I couldn’t have and responds, so I wanted to try here. I hope, I picked the correct category.
I have two PCs like these;
- Intel 5 6500 with 8GB DDR4 RAM and a Radeon 5700XT
- AMD 7 3800X with 16GB DDR4 RAM and a Radeon 6700XT.
Couple days ago I have ınstalled Manjaro KDE on both of them. Then:
-
I updated both systems with Add/Remove software
-
used AUR to install 8192EU-DKMS driver for TP link USB Wi-Fi dongles
-
updated the kernel to 5.16.5
-
used AUR to install opencl-amd package
-
downloaded teamredminer zip archive
This is where the similarities end. The one with 5700XT starts mining immediately and has no problems. Actually, it was mining this way for months I just wanted to “exercise” on my Linux installing skills for the weekend. And it still works without any problem.
The one with 6700XT, on the other hand, simply can not mine. It throws an:
"Failed to list OpenCL devices for platform 0."
error in the miner. I searched the error online and tried every solution I have found. I also have looked for other solutions like installing/uninstalling packages opencl-mesa, rocm-opencl, amdvlk, amdvlk 32bit, ocl-icd, 32 bit ocl-icd, clinfo and some combinations etc. but none worked. In one forum I have seen “clinfo” and apperantly it tells the story why it does or does not work. It didn’t work in the beginning but then I figured it could have been installed and found it in the Add/Remove Software easily (I’m beginning to understand how things are done in the Linux world 
) The outcome is like this:

BTW, games (with Wine and Steam Proton) work perfectly so I don’t think the GPU is the problem here. There is also a Windows partition and mining works for it, too.
Since every result I found in online searches failed, as a last resort I wanted to ask you people. Would you please help me like I am super new to Linux? I have been using Linux for a very long time but my experience is limited to what comes preinstalled with Ubuntu family mostly (Office, web browsing, Thunderbird, Blender, etc.). Playing games, Installing and configuring things, mining, using terminal and more tech advanced applications are all new to me.
Thanks for reading this far:)
