[SOLVED] Trouble installing Vulkan on integrated intel gpu

Piroks · 2023-04-30 11:22:37

I am trying to install Vulkan on my laptop which has I5 6300U (HD 520 integrated GPU). I've installed all the packaged mentioned in intel graphics and vulkan arch wiki entries but when running vulkaninfo it gives this output:

ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : loader_get_json: Failed to open JSON file /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json
ERROR: [Loader Message] Code 0 : vkCreateInstance: Found no drivers!
Cannot create Vulkan instance.
This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan.
ERROR at /usr/src/debug/vulkan-tools/Vulkan-Tools-1.3.245/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:677:vkCreateInstance failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

Intel's site says that HD 520 supports Vulkan so I am unsure what I'm doing wrong. I also don't know why icd loader is trying to load nvidia_icd. I dont't have any nvidia packages on my machine

Intel's site says that HD 520 supports Vulkan

https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en … 0-ghz.html doesn't mention vulkan and claims the processor was launched in Q3 2015 before vulkan was introduced by Khronos .

Please share the link to the page were intel states the HD 520 supports vulkan .

The output of

$ ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/
$ pacman -Qs vulkan

may also be helpful .

Optimus? =>

lspci

Try to set VK_ICD_FILENAMES, the skylake IGP is supposed to be supported by vulkan-intel, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Intel_ … stallation

Piroks · 2023-04-30 20:53:42

I don't have anything related to optimus installed, at least it doesn't seem so.

But running works

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json vkcube

Is there a better way to permanently alter this variable, other than a simple export?

seth · 2023-04-30 20:56:28

Then why is there the nvidia reference?
Please post the output of "lspci".

You'll have to export the variable if you need to explicitly define the ICD, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Environment_variables

No nvidia GPU indeed…

pacman -Qs nvidia

Or is

echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES

maybe already set to the wrong value before you change it?

Piroks · 2023-04-30 21:12:59

I made sure before asking, that I don't have any packages related to nvidia/AMD and deleted all of them, and yeah I forgot to say that VK_ICD_FILENAMES was set by default to

$ echo $VK_ICD_FILENAMES
> /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json

I really would like to know why its default value is a non-existent file but setting in upon login to intel's icd fixes the issue.

seth · 2023-04-30 21:25:05

There's no default value for this, it's something you're setting - somehow.
See the link I posted, in doubt "grep -r VK_ICD_FILENAMES $HOME /etc"

Piroks · 2023-04-30 21:36:48

Found it! When I was cloning my dotfiles from my desktop to my laptop I forgot that I was setting VK_ICD_FILENAMES during login
