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*.

sudo apt update

Re: Vulkan on 19
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.
Re: Vulkan on 19
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.
When i run vulkaninfo i get:

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
