This is only a thread for installing HQPlayer Embedded on Ubuntu. This top post will host the commands needed and a video of me installing it, so people can see what's supposed to happen. If you need help installing Ubuntu, this isn't the place. If you are lost trying to install Ubuntu, I highly recommend using @Miska's HQP OS or a product from a company that does everything for you.

 

I see this thread as only a quick list of what people need to do and that's it. When something is outdated please let me know and I'll update it. Creating this as a separate thread will keep this at the top and easy to find rather than a few hundred pages deep. 

 

For all discussions on HQP Desktop and Embedded see @ted_b's main HQP thread here -

As of Friday August 20, 2021, I used a standard install of Ubuntu 20.04 and entered the following commands exactly as below to get HQPlayer Embedded working. I made each command its own line rather than combine a couple. I'm open to changing whatever needs to be changed and streamlined. 

 

 

sudo apt update

sudo apt install libnuma-dev

sudo reboot

sudo apt install gnupg2

wget -q -O - https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

echo 'deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/apt/debian/ ubuntu main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rocm.list

wget -q -O - https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

sudo apt update

sudo apt install rocm-dkms

sudo reboot

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/rocm/bin:/opt/rocm/rocprofiler/bin:/opt/rocm/opencl/bin' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/rocm.sh

sudo sh -c "echo '/opt/rocm/lib' >> /etc/ld.so.conf.d/rocm.conf"

sudo ldconfig

wget https://www.sonarnerd.net/src/focal/libgmpris_2.2.1-8_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i libgmpris_2.2.1-8_amd64.deb

wget https://www.signalyst.eu/bins/hqplayerd/focal/hqplayerd_4.25.1-83_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i hqplayerd_4.25.1-83_amd64.deb

sudo apt install -f

sudo hqplayerd -s hqplayer hqplayer

sudo systemctl enable hqplayerd 

systemctl start hqplayerd

sudo systemctl status hqplayerd

 

 

Here is the realtime video of my installation. Nothing to see here for most people, but I want to provide it so others can at least see what's supposed to happen.

 

Note: If it's blurry, YouTube is still processing the HD version. Just give it time. 

 

 

Don’t see installation of Linux headers and image ?

these days the current driver is nvidia-driver-510, so if you install that, you should be fine. don't use anything below 490, is what @Miska recommended some time ago

 

so,

 

$ ubuntu-drivers devices

 

should result in something like

 

vendor   : NVIDIA Corporation
driver   : nvidia-driver-470 - distro non-free recommended
driver   : nvidia-driver-510-server - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-510 - distro non-free
driver   : nvidia-driver-470-server - distro non-free
driver   : xserver-xorg-video-nouveau - distro free builtin

 

and then, 

 

$ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-510

 

and you should be fine. use 

 

$ watch nvidia-smi

 

to observe the gpu load

Do you know how to get nvidia-smi with headless driver on ubuntu 20.04  ?
