Questions[vulkan](ubuntu)

When I use the vulkaninfo command on Ubuntu 20.04, I get the following warnings:

WARNING: [Loader Message] Code 0 : terminator_CreateInstance: Failed to CreateInstance in ICD 2.  Skipping ICD.
MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, testing use only.
WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, testing use only.

When I run vkcube, I get the following:

MESA-INTEL: warning: Performance support disabled, consider sysctl dev.i915.perf_stream_paranoid=0

Selected GPU 0: Intel(R) HD Graphics 530 (SKL GT2), type: 1

How can I resolve these warnings?

I want to install glslc , which is one of the tools of shaderc, so I can compile GLSL into Vulkan's SPIR-V shader format.

Is there a package that already provides it or I should build it from source?

Apparently it's not packed on debian: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=890472

I noted it appears to be included in the LunarG Vulkan SDK: https://vulkan.lunarg.com/doc/sdk/1.2.141.2/linux/getting_started.html

From own LunarG website, it's not yet packed for 20.04, only 16.04 and 18.04. This situation may change soon.

I'm running Ubuntu 19.04 Desktop, and I would like to install Vulkan. I already installed the Nvidia drivers from the Software and Updates app, but when I try to install Vulkan from the command line using sudo apt install vulkan vulkan-utils, I get the following:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package vulkan

I checked to make sure I have the PPA, and I do. Looking at the PPA's website, though, it shows Vulkan for 18.04 and 18.10, but not 19.04. How would I go about installing Vulkan on my 19.04 system? Assuming it's even possible, that is.

EDIT: The results of running sudo ubuntu-drivers devices are the following:

When I tried to run sudo apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-x/vulkan I got this error:

Cannot add PPA: 'ppa:~canonical-x/ubuntu/vulkan'.

And running lspci -knn | grep -A3 -i -E "(VGA|3D)" gave me the following:

If I need to downgrade to 18.04, that is perfectly fine; I just want to know whether such a downgrade is needed before I continue to set up the 19.04 system.

I cannot get amdgpu to load as driver. Instead it always loads radeon.

Setup:

• Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

• i7-5830k

• 2x R9 390X

When running vulkaninfo, I get the following error.

It's been weeks that I try to get it running correctly on Ubuntu (vs 15 minutes flawlessly on Mac), trying almost every solution I stumbled upon. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Vulkan Instance Version: 1.1.85
vulkan/1.1.85.0/examples/vulkaninfo.c:3357: failed with VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED

Steps followed:

Here are the steps I followed in order to get there.

1. I checked recommended NVidia driver

   sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
   

2. I installed NVidia-driver-390 as recommended

   sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver-390
   

3. I rebooted and realized that nvidia-prime is not being used

   sudo apt-get install nvidia-prime
   

   Still no nvidia Prime tab in Nvidia X Server Settings, let's try without.

4. Download the vulkan SDK and followed these steps

5. Add to ~/.profile.

   export VULKAN_SDK=/home/mies/vulkan/1.1.85.0/x86_64
   export PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/bin:$PATH
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/lib
   export VK_LAYER_PATH=$VULKAN_SDK/etc/explicit_layer.d
   

6. Build the examples. None works, I get this error.

   vulkan/1.1.85.0/examples/cube.c:3155: demo_init_vk: Assertion `!err' failed.
   [1]    31349 abort (core dumped)  ./cube
   

7. When running vulkaninfo I get the error

   VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED.
   

Am I missing something?
Context is:

Driver check:

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -i "VGA"
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF106GL [Quadro 2000] (rev a1)  
Subsystem: NVIDIA Corporation Quadro 2000D  
Kernel driver in use: nvidia  

Config:

/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json:

    "file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
    "ICD": {
        "library_path": "libGLX_nvidia.so.0",

    }
}

I'm running out of ideas.
My NVidia Quadro 2000D is supposed to be supported, right?
