Vulkan on 19

[jxr182]

I have searched the internet and mint forums but am not finding any clear how-to's. I found one for ubuntu at https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-tes ... n-on-linux but when i went to apt install vulkan and 396 weren't found.

How can I install vulkan? I have vulkaninfo and some dependencies installed but cannot find any guide or howto on how to get vulkan itself installed on my 19 system.

I don't know what info you guys will want. Maybe there's a general guide I'm just not finding. I'm running a 660 TI. I am currently running the 390 driver *I think*.

Add that ppa and sudo apt update.

Thank you. Those are the same instructions I had already found on the other site though. I add the ppa, update and upgrade (upgrade may be unnecessary). Then I sudo apt install vulkan nvidia-396 and my system is still not able to find either of those packages.

I've installed everything vulkan I can find (not including anything actually called "vulkan").
When i run vulkaninfo i get:

/build/vulkan-77a_zE/vulkan-1.1.73+dfsg/demos/vulkaninfo.c:3141: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

an internet search on that error found exactly 0 results. Looking at it i'm sure it's due to vulkan itself not being installed.

Maybe, or you installed too much. All I have is mesa-vulkan-drivers (which installs libvulkan1) and now I added vulkan-utils for the vulkaninfo tool. Seems to run fine, although for my intel chip I get this funny warning message that you shouldn't usually see in release code:

Code: Select all

$ vulkaninfo | head -n5
INTEL-MESA: warning: ../../../src/intel/vulkan/anv_device.c:1034: FINISHME: Implement pop-free point clipping
===========
VULKAN INFO
===========

Vulkan Instance Version: 1.1.73

Someone finish it already.

This is followed by endless pages of supported modes and formats. but at least I know it runs v1.1:

Code: Select all

Device Properties and Extensions :
==================================
GPU0
VkPhysicalDeviceProperties:
===========================
	apiVersion     = 0x401000  (1.1.0)
	driverVersion  = 75501573 (0x4801005)
	vendorID       = 0x8086
	deviceID       = 0x5a85
	deviceType     = INTEGRATED_GPU
	deviceName     = Intel(R) HD Graphics 500 (Broxton 2x6)

But better ask someone with an nvidia chip for help on what you should be seeing with yours.
