Unsupported DEB-based OS: /etc/os-release ID ‘kali’. You can get the above error if you try to install AMD drivers on Kali Linux. Looks like by default they are looking for a system that is Ubuntu, LinuxMint or Debian.
You can resolve the issue by opening up the “amdgpu-pro-install” file and adding more OS’s that it can check for.
vi ./amdgpu-pro-install
Scroll down to line 147 where is says
ubuntu|linuxmint|debian)
and change it to
ubuntu|linuxmint|debian|kali)
The code function should look like the following.
142 function os_release() { 143 if [[ -r /etc/os-release ]]; then 144 . /etc/os-release 145 146 case "$ID" in 147 ubuntu|linuxmint|debian|kali) 148 : 149 ;; 150 *) 151 echo "Unsupported DEB-based OS: ` 152 `/etc/os-release ID '$ID'" | stderr 153 exit 1 154 ;; 155 esac 156 else 157 echo "Unsupported OS" | stderr 158 exit 1 159 fi 160 }
Save a close the file and install the AMD drivers
./amdgpu-pro-install -y --opencl=legacy,rocm --headless
