As the title suggests, I am attempting to run xmr-stak on Ubuntu 16.04.0.

Currently I am following a hodge-podge of instructions found here, here, and here. I'm noticing an issue with dkm during the installation of amdgpu-pro. Also, for whatever reason, clinfo will not locate my GPU.

Compiling is fine, but I believe my issue is finding a driver for the 5830. However, I have noticed that amdgpu-pro does suppport my card.

For Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and above, the AMD Catalyst or fglrx driver (compatible with your card) is no longer supported by AMD, or in Ubuntu. The AMDGPU-PRO and AMD Blockchain BETA driver aren´t compatible with your card, finally, the opensource ones can´t be used for mining due to OpenCL.

So, one solution could be to try installing the fglrx driver on your system. Here the reference from Ubuntu WIKI.
