Help with hashcat on Debian: "Unstable OpenCL driver detected!"

[erjoalgo]

I tried following the ROCm installation instructions from AMD for Debian:

https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/insta...start.html

This failed at the step:

Code:

sudo apt install -y rocm

There appear to be some package dependency/version issues.

Code:

I'm not sure if it's worth fighting what seems like an uphill battle. Do I try to manually install the expected versions for each of those dependencies? Or just give up on Debian and install Ubuntu, which AMD appears to support better?

These are the 3 packages that appear to have the wrong versions:

Code:

Depends: rocminfo (= 1.0.0.60403-128~22.04) but 5.2.3-2 is to be installed Depends: rocm-device-libs (= 1.0.0.60403-128~22.04) but 5.2.3-2 is to be installed Depends: hipcc (= 1.1.1.60403-128~22.04) but 5.2.3-8 is to be installed

How should I go about fixing the dependency issues, where should I get the latest versions of these pacakges?
Has anyone on debian gotten hashcat to work with AMD hardware? Help.
