Vulkan Nvidia segfaults after recent updates

I have been having trouble running any vulkan applications after the most recent update today. I am not sure if it is the Nvidia driver or vulkan or amd-ucode or Xorg?

I was previously using nvidia-dkms drivers, with the lts kernel, and everything was working fine.
I have tried reinstalling nvidia-lts, and nvidia drivers, and nothing seems to work.

I have also tried setting the environment variable,

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json

which doesn't work either.

Output from:

vulkaninfo
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

and

dmesg | grep nvidia

Re: Vulkan Nvidia segfaults after recent updates

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump

gdb reports statement(program exited with code 0377)

core dumps look normal except for :

'core.rundll32\x2eexe.1000{longhash_function_here}.zst

Which seems to correspond to "core.fossilize_repla.1000" hash (Steam's shader layer), from core dumps.

Is this normal or something nasty?

Re: Vulkan Nvidia segfaults after recent updates

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json <your program here>

This seems to work just fine. Almost solved. I just need to set this as an environment variable.

Re: Vulkan Nvidia segfaults after recent updates

+1 the VK_ICD_FILENAMES workaround works!!

1. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Environment_variables
2. So this is a hybrid graphics system?
"lspci"?
Why is vulkan-radeon installed?

Re: Vulkan Nvidia segfaults after recent updates

I had the same issue. The problem was indeed having installed another vulkan driver. Thanks!

No, I switched graphics cards a while back and did not clean up the packages. icd loading and selection was working fine up until two days ago, I am not sure what was changed. From logs it looks like vulkan-radeon was indeed updated, but I am not sure why that automatically takes priority, as both nvidia_icd and radeon_icd were present?

EDIT:

But yes, after removing vulkan-radeon and lib32-vulkan-radeon, there is no conflict. I would assume you could use this workaround in a hybrid graphics system that has both an NVIDIA and AMD gpus in several different pci slots, only needing to specify the vk_icd in order to divide the workload.
