--- Comment #14 from FrankNFurter <[email protected]> ---
After several attempts to get it running, I have given up. In my opinion, the
problem is that Ubuntu 24.04 is "too new" for the Radeon driver version that
supports OpenCV. I found a compatibility matrix that might be worth checking
out:
https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/radeon-ryzen/en/latest/docs/compatibility/compatibilityrad/native_linux/native_linux_compatibility.html

The main issue for me was often the poor documentation—not of digiKam, but of
amdgpu-install. The installation frequently left the system broken after a
reboot, forcing me to uninstall and reinstall the drivers multiple times to get
my system working again. Last but not least, I bought another graphics card
(NVIDIA) and was able to get it running with that. I am now running:
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 580.126.09
on Ubuntu  24.04.4 (glxinfo)

One last thing: Could you please clarify in the digiKam documentation whether
the environment variable OPENCV_OPENCL_DEVICE needs to be set on Linux systems?
In my case, I did not set it and it works with NVIDIA, but not with AMD. For
AMD, I had to set it to :GPU:0 for the test to detect the card (though it still
didn’t work properly).

You can close this thread now. Thanks for your help anyway.
