Multiple errors. Step 10 didn't show the results.

[Steven-Hammon]

@Kademo15

Not sure if we are supposed to get these errors or not. If we are then cool. If we aren't then not cool. But I have no idea if they are supposed to be errors or not. Like "Step 3. Install any pending updates. sudo apt-get update" I assume that's in "Terminal" correct?

So if it says, "Caution, entering any command will destroy your computer. Close this window now if you want to save your system." Then I ignore that and go to the next step and put in "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"

With utterly no clue as to what it's supposed to be doing, I have no idea if it's working or not.
Is there a chance to take screenshots of the output it's supposed to do and show that in the steps? That way people can look at it and go "Wait amdgpu-uninstall: command not found was not meant to come up." Then they could actually google that actual issue and probably find out why.

I installed ubuntu-22.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso because Ubuntu® 22.04.3 LTS doesn't exist in that https://releases.ubuntu.com/jammy/ link. It updated to Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. It wouldn't let me install on my NVME or my other drives so I had to install it on an old 1tb hard drive.

Had no idea how to do my password since it didn't show any changes when I typed. I assumed my keyboard wasn't working. Had to google it and found out that it doesn't show anything when you type but it is actually going in there.

So I worked out my username by guessing. Took me a few goes. Not sure if other people would know how to work that out.

So this is my Terminal information:

To run a command as administrator (user "root"), use "sudo ".
See "man sudo_root" for details.

@Steven-Hammon You could add me on discord under the name kademo15 if you have that program, if not can you propose another software to communicate. I can see where the problem lies and walk you through it step by step and then update the guide based on the issues we encountered. This guide is a bit outdated see the older ubuntu version that you mentioned.

ROCm is open source. You can install the full ROCm stack from the default Ubuntu repositories. Follow my guide here: https://www.reddit.com/r/comfyui/comments/1d8d1k6/rocm_ubuntu_2404_basic_comfyui_setup_instructions/ and avoid the hassle of the AMD-provided solution.
