scrcpy: Unable to use scrcpy with AMD graphics in Linux

Environment

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
scrcpy version: 1.18
installation method: snap
device model: S21
Android version: 11

Describe the bug

when launching scrcpy from bash I get the following error message. There are similar reports for other projects citing amdgpu.ids not accessible from snap packages due to Apparmor restrictions. Perhaps that’s the same thing here. Note: I have a notebook with Ryzen 7 CPU 4750U with AMD GPU obviously:

x@x:~$ scrcpy

Currently using the stable channel doesn’t still work, and throws up the same error. @sisco311 please look if the fix has been properly applied. The edge channel runs perfectly though. scrcpy version 1.24

@sisco311 Wow, yes, it works again now! Cool, thanks!

Try a non-snap version.

@heurekus, thanks for the suggestion. Added a bind to libdrm.

Please install the snap from the edge channel and see if this solves the issue.

Thanks.
