Hmm maybe
update-alternatives --list amd_icd64.json

This is where I stand now ... no hurry as this is just a test PC ,,,, Some of my PC Clientele use AMD that is the main reason I got it to add to my test system.

eblieb@M715Q-Ubuntu:~$ vulkaninfoWARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminat - Pastebin.com Here is my vulkaninfo... seems everything is fine but ChannelsDVR is still failing hardware scans.
Think I finally got it working... DO NOT install the 5.6 drivers (the ones on the AMD website). They do not contain the proprietary support files. Manually change the source.list.d to point to 5.5.2 for all the lists (Amdgpu, amdgpu-proprietary and rocm). Then manually force the components (including DKMS) to install
