AMD GPU Render on Ubuntu I use Blender 2.79 on Ubuntu 16.04 with an AMD Radeon RX 560 GPU. However, Blender doesn't detect my GPU as a "Cycels Compute Device". My approach is listed below:


Installation of Ubuntu 16.04
Installation of AMD GPU driver


My terminal output from  is:

*-display

Download Blender 2.79 from Blender.org
Open the Blender User Preferences

The System Tab in the window Blender User Preferences displays None as the Cycles Compute Device.


I am not shure whether I'm doing somthing wrong or whether it is a bug.
I would appreciate any help on this subject because I would like to render with my GPU.
Solution:

Install OpenCl Packages.

For Arch Linux: libopencl and opencl-amd
