Hello!

I am giving amd-smi a try on a box with AMD Ryzen 5 5500GT CPU with
Radeon Graphics.

My regular user is in the `render` group (confirmed by the `id`
command), but I experience the same issues anyway, even if I run
`amd-smi` as root...

The issue is that `amd-smi` seems to be unable to detect any running
processes, while `nvtop` sees a number of processes running on my AMD
Radeon Graphics Integrated GPU:

```
$ amd-smi
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
```

Moreover, I also see the following error:

```
$ amd-smi static
python3: ./rocm_smi/src/rocm_smi.cc:119: uint64_t get_multiplier_from_char(char): Assertion `false' failed.
Aborted                    amd-smi static
```

Is there anything wrong with my installation?
Any missing package? Shouldn't it be a dependency of package `amd-smi`?

I also tried to check on the upstream [homepage], the one declared in
the Debian package, in order to see whether there are more recent
versions or any known issues with integrated GPUs.
But it says that the repository is deprecated and redirects the visitor
to a [newer repository].
You sure are already aware of that, right?

Please help me debug the above-described issues.
Thanks for your time and dedication!
