Basically title. I have a 7600(x)(t) 8G. I want drivers with opencl for hashcat. I know the proprietary ones work, but they are a ludicrously massive PITA. I am willing to use almost any distro to make this work (not Ubuntu, and not one of those random newer ones). I really hope I don’t have to use the proprietary drivers.

    Ah man, are you able to verify OCL working with other applications such as OpenShot or Blender?

    As for your edit, sorry you’re correct, the package name is rocm-opencl, otherwise referred to as rocm-opencl-runtime

      Well I tried an opencl benchmark I found, and my computer has fuckied a major wucky… Edit: reboot fixed it but it seems opencl is super unstable on here. I ran hashcat again, this time with --force, and found that it did nothing, then there were weird colors, then plasmashell crashed. Luckily plasmashell has good crash handling and it was able to go back up so I could see that hashcat reported something about gpu hang being the reason for the crash.

        Oh damn, can you send me a link to that? I’ll also try Hashcat + its benchmark when I get the chance.

        Reaching out to a friend who has some familiarity with HC in the mean time.

            The OpenCL benchmark for me worked without any issues.

            The Hashcat benchmark threw the same errors as you’d seen until I manually specified my device (my friend was able to point me in the right direction here).

            You can enumerate your OpenCL device (i.e. your GPU) with something like clinfo, rocm-clinfo.

            I had to run Hashcat’s benchmark like so: hashcat -b -d 2 where 2 is my RX 6800XT

            Hope this helps
