Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
I have been running Stable Diffusion in a separate partition with Ubuntu 22.04 because my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installation does not support the ROCm kernels out of the box. I have seen some sporadic attempts on the web from folks looking to get something running on their rolling release distros, like the Arch Linux community.
Just wanna know if anyone else around here has tried something that works with their favourite rolling-release distros?
The Arch User Repository is offering ROCm and yes, i tried it, it works
Nice. I am partial towards the rolling-release model so once my new hard drive arrives, I might take the plunge and just do an Arch install. What's the latest no-frills way to go from installation to a working system for Arch Linux derivatives?
I run automatic webui on Nixos with podman since I don't yet know how to set it up with flakes and python dependancy managment is pretty finicky. Default kernel out of the box. Nixos isn't technically a rolling release, but it is very up to date similar to tumbleweed. Recently got animatediff working which is pretty neat.
Edit: I used Debian:sid as the base image if that helps.
Oh yeah. I like Nix. I have nixpkgs running on Tumbleweed too. But yeah, the base OS needs to be stable to be compatible with ROCm stuff, so that's why I have Ubuntu installed in a separate partition.
You can get it to work on arch, rocm is in the repos.
I suggest you use a container if you proceed though.
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is getting the ROCm kernels running. I looked into containers for ROCm support and unsurprisingly, my host OS needs it first.
I think you are misunderstanding something, you don't need a rocm kernel. What you need is the rocm-opencl-runtime.
