Do these 7 things to run Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, Fooocus on AMD GPU with ROCm on Fedora Linux

[@belgarathlesorcier8385]

Sir you are a wizard! I attempt to install a sd ui since 5hours and your tutorial are the only that worked so far Thank you very much!

[@ai_rncz]

I'm glad it works! You're welcome and thanks for letting me know.

[@Vostok_M1]

Man, thank you! That's the video I was looking for!

[@ai_rncz]

Glad it helped you!💯

[@fernablo702]

Doesn't work in Bazzite, a Fedora distro, I'm always getting a few errors like "error: packages would be changed" when installing some ROCm components, and "Warning: caught exception 'Found no NVIDIA driver on your system." when executing webui sh.

Wow thanks for your comment! Appreciate it a lot and I'm glad it helped you!! 🙌💯

It is saying torch.cuda.is_available in python in the virtual env returns false. But it returns true in the default environment. I've run the torch install command while in the virtual env, and it says it's all there.

What did you do with the first my_venv folder after copying it to the Stable Diffusion(automatic 1111, ComfyUI, Foocus) folder?

[@ai_rncz]

Hey, I just keep it as a backup on my PC. It's no more than a virtual environment with the installed torch python packages for rocm. You could also remove the my_venv folder if you don't need it anymore or just create a new virtual environment when there is an updated version of torch for rocm.

How to do the empty hard disk step to install fedora? I have around 30ish gigs of free space on my c drive and some important file I have to keep

[@ai_rncz]

Hey, if you have a hard disk with another operating system, for example Windows, you could take a look at shinking the volume and creating a new partition to install Fedora or another Linux distribution. As you have got some important files to keep, I won't recommend to run another operating system on that disk. In my PC I have two different hard disks, 1 running on Fedora and one running on Windows. For the Fedora installation you can just connect the USB with Fedora to your PC, edit the boot device to the USB in the BIOS and reboot your system to install Fedora. Folow the installation steps and make sure you choose the right volume or partition to install Fedora. After the installation everything should be running fine.

I'm using linux mint, will that work too? Or do I have to pay attention to anything special? (Sorry but I am a beginner in this area)

[@ai_rncz]

Ooh I'm not familiar with Linux Mint. The only thing I can come up with is the AMD drivers. If they work it should be possible!

[@spierdlajify]

Ubuntu, ROCm and ComfyUI works kinda fine with my 7900 XTX

[@ai_rncz]

That's good to hear, which version of Ubuntu do you use?

[@spierdlajify]

@@ai_rncz Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS, it was super ez to install it all

[@kpopmelloww]

Hi again, after installing and booting fedora on my usb, What is the file name to click to open the fedora interface to follow the other steps? Seems i cant find the "application "file to run fedora

[@ai_rncz]

Did you create a bootable USB of Fedora ISO with a tool like Rufus? It looks like your USB is not bootable at the moment.

[@taksela]

Kindly show on Widnows as well.

[@ai_rncz]

I will check out what I can do, as it is a hassle to get things working on windows with AMD. Fedora with ROCm works way faster :)

[@taksela]

@@ai_rncz how about on WSL2?

[@matthewfuller9760]

thanks!

[@ai_rncz]

You re welcome 😁

[@matthewfuller9760]

@@ai_rncz LOL i'm on step 1) using diskpart to fix a corrupt hardrive. (then i can install linux) I'm happy though. I just got it initialized and windows sees it.

[@mizuneigh]

M totally new to this. I've been trying to find a workaround for windows, but to no avail. Is it bcoz ROCm isn't on Windows yet? (even though AMD said that they'd bring it to Windows months ago... which is weird coz they haven't done that yet...)? If I have to go with this method, I'll have to dual boot; I've tried it with Linux Mint but to no avail - no matter how many times I've resetted the OS / drivers or tutorials I've watched. I have a 7800xt just in case but your bio says that u use a 7700xt so ROCm should work on the higher-end side...? as it did with the 6000 series...?! Just saying this coz if u have a Windows 10/11 alternative in the works, I'll gladly follow that one instead. Coz rn, I'm resorting to Arch at this point and learning an entirely new OS and am already having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi with it cuz I rely on mobile data... alongside a video of the most obnoxious Arch Linux ComfyUI install tutor ever. I however very much like the fact that your video is only under 4 mins long 🙏 .

[@ai_rncz]

I tried to get things working with AMD and Windows too, but the thing is that there is no ROCm version of pytorch for Windows, which is a nessecary library for AI content generation. ROCm drivers are available for Windows by the way, but until there is no pytorch for ROCm on Windows, you should stick to DirectML on Windows. But... DirectML is like half the speed of ROCm when generating images. I have dual boot too, 1 HDD with Windows and 1 with Fedora Linux. Did you take a look at the Linux Mint kernel version? I thought that the kernel version must be higher than 6.5 for Linux to get the AMD 7000 series working. Just hit a terminal and run the command ' uname -r '. Arch for me was a headache too to get things working. I couldn't get Stable Diffusion by automatic1111 working on arch with the rx 7700 xt. I would recommend installing Fedora, as a simple update with the DNF package manager after a fresh installation of Fedora was enough to get Stable Diffusion up and running with the steps of this video. Thanks for support anyway! If you are running into any issues, just drop a comment and I will try to help you or I will make another video on how to fix certain problems.

I have a windows pc whit amd graphic and i would like to run Fooocus but i have 0 idea i m just lost

[@ai_rncz]

I haven't try to run fooocus ai on windows yet. It should be possible with DirectML. The thing is there is no pytorch for rocm on windows, that is why linux is recommended when using AMD gpus.

[@EchoBycz]

I use a1111 with amd windows with rocm/zluda works fine

[@EchoBycz]

And search to use defoocus with rocm under windows^^

[@TheModExperiment]

Do I really need python3.10? I already have python3.12.2 6_9

[@ai_rncz]

It is recommended to use python 3.10. For me 3.10 is the only version that worked well.

[@TheModExperiment]

@@ai_rncz I found on one forum that the "torch" does not work on versions higher than 3.10. Maybe this is why you need to install this particular version of Python.

[@AlSaleh-devlab]

Thank you for creating this concise guide. Very informative. Did you try running any large language model with AMD GPU?

[@ai_rncz]

You're welcome! I haven't try to run any LLM models yet. But it sounds like a good idea to run your own 'chatgpt' locally. For now I have been playing around with ai images, audio and video. Did you get LLM models to work on your PC by the way?

[@AlSaleh-devlab]

@@ai_rncz I plan to test that for my channel, I have a laptop with 12GB Nvidia GPU, and I am considering a 24GB AMD card for my desktop.

[@ai_rncz]

@@AlSaleh-devlab sounds good, looks like AMD is doing a lot of development at the moment to keep up with nvidia.
