AMDGPU Pro installation not working

I wish i could use AMF encoder on my RX 550 AMD gpu, for that i've been trying to get AMDGPU Pro to work for a while, without success.

I'm mainly testing if it works using this command's feedback (actual output below)

$ vk_pro vulkaninfo

WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Received return code -3 from call to vkCreateInstance in ICD /usr/lib/amdvlkpro64.so. Skipping this driver.
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.269/vulkaninfo/./vulkaninfo.h:688:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

Also, when i try to convert a video using ffmpeg it throws errors

$ ffmpeg -i Trecho.mkv -c:v h264_amf -b:v 10M -c:a copy output.mp4

Converting using h264_vaapi works fine.

Following the last wiki's command i got this output

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa PRO [Radeon 540/540X/550/550X / RX 540X/550/550X] (rev c7)

        Kernel driver in use: amdgpu
        Kernel modules: amdgpu

I've tried installing multiple versions of amdgpu-pro-installer alongside multiple combinations of linux-firmware-git (The last combination i did was amdgpu-pro-installer v23.40_1710631-1 + linux-firmware-git 20240130.001ba06d-1).

This is my first post on the forum, sorry if it is too much or too little information at first, I will upload everything that is requested later.

Re: AMDGPU Pro installation not working

Sorry for the late reply, landed here because of google.

Did you define the vulkan driver via:

export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/amd_pro_icd64.json

before running ffmpeg?

Re: AMDGPU Pro installation not working

well, although OP seem not to have come back since let me post relevant info to help others finding this even later:
amd dropped support for everything vega and older back in 2023 - so to get amdgpu_pro to work with a gcn gpu either use an older version from q3/23 (don't remember exactly what was the last working version) or upgrade your gpu to rdna (rx 5000 or newer)
