I want to update my driver for enhancing the graphic experience. So I googled about my graphics driver then I found AMD Radeon™ HD 8730M Series GPU Previous Drivers.

Direct download link for 👉 Ubuntu 20.04

After downloading and extracting it I triggered ./amdgpu-pro-install command on terminal.
In the first attempt I got multiple errors which say

Package amdgpu-hwe not found

So I ran the following command.

sudo apt list --installed amdgpu-hwe

After that, I did uninstall amdgpu-uninstall and reinstalled it again with ./amdgpu-pro-install

This time installation took a long time for completing this operation.

Finally, all installation is done and I decided to reboot by which the system will refresh drivers and updated patches.

But something went wrong here and I am stuck on the start screen with a blinking cursor.
