Summary: black screen at reboot after installing proprietary
amdgpu-pro driver on user LTS edition
Product: neon
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal

Hi there,
Because neon derives from ubuntu, one can install the graphic card proprietary
driver from AMD on neon LTS by simply editing the install script from AMD.
However the result is a black screen at reboot with last revision of kernel
4.8. I have tried also kernel 4.10 and 4.11 with no much success, although in
these 2 cases, there is some output at reboot but only console.
This seems to be somewhat neon specific. The same hack of the install script
allows to get the amdgpu-pro driver installed on linux mint kde edition (18.1
and 18.2 beta) and KDE is up and running fine at reboot. I did not try with
kubuntu or neon user non LTS edition.
Would be great to investigate and get this working, I found neon LTS pretty
stable during test but being unable to run the AMD proprietary driver is a no
go for me (openCL)
Let me know if I can help more
