Ubuntu MATE 20.04.3 LTS 6600XT GPU
replacing my old gpu with a new one and having a real hurdle.
downloaded the proper 21.40.2 for ubuntu 20.04.3 file here
Followed directions here
even got the pro package from here and followed the extraction method
ran update, upgrade distro, reboot, and.... nothing. Plugging hdmi into gpu doesn't output video.
i checked software & updates and proprietary drivers are checked, when i check additional drivers, it shows nothing.
running
lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
shows that the system recognizes i have the proper gpu in place
running
sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
returns nothing
running amdgpu-install and amdgpu-pro-install output:

The amdgpu driver is already installed or was not uninstalled correctly.
Please fully uninstall the driver before proceeding with installation
You can try running the amdgpu-uninstall or amdgpu-pro-uninstall script
present in /usr/bin to clean up the previous installation
user@user-LinuxDesktop:~/Desktop/amdgpu-pro-20.20-1098277-ubuntu-20.04$ ./amdgpu-pro-install -y

but when i check with dpkg -l amdgpu amdgpu is confirmed but amdgpu-pro is not.
i've updated and upgraded and rebooted and i can't get the gpu to activate and it still does not show up under additional drivers.
any thoughts?

This worked for my setup. Maybe this will help someone else.
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 (dual boot) Ubuntu Studio 21.04
Board: ASUS Tuf Gaming B550M-Plus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900x 12-Core, 24-Thread
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x32GB CMK64GX4M2D3600C18
Graphics: XFX Radeon RX 6600XT
If you already have a previous version or prior failed attempt
amdgpu-uninstall -y
MANDATORY Reboot
sudo reboot
Update and Install some packages
sudo apt update && sudo apt install git clinfo darktable -y
Make an (optional) AMD directory
mkdir amd
git clone firmware
cd amd && git clone && cd
Copy over the firmware
sudo cp ~/amd/linux-firmware/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu && sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -v && sudo apt update
Get the recent AMD Driver for Radeon RX 6600xt
wget -P ~/amd/
Install the file you just downloaded
cd amd && sudo apt install -y ./amdgpu-install_21.50.2.50002-1_all.deb && cd && sudo apt update
Install the driver (check optional --flags for your use case)
amdgpu-install -y --accept-eula --opencl=rocr,legacy --usecase=graphics,opencl
Add yourself to the Video and Render groups
sudo apt update && sudo usermod -aG video $USER && sudo usermod -aG render $USER
MANDATORY Reboot
sudo reboot
After reboot, run:
clinfo -l
or more verbose
clinfo
Checkout Darktable as well
darktable-cltest
