NVIDIA Drivers installation (Vulkan)

Hello!

I want to use Godot, so I downloaded it, and whenever I run it, I get this error

Godot Engine v4.0.beta1.official.20d667284 - https://godotengine.org
ERROR: No surface extension found, is a driver installed?

Your video card driver does not support any of the supported Vulkan or OpenGL versions.
Please update your drivers or if you have a very old or integrated GPU, upgrade it.
If you have updated your graphics drivers recently, try rebooting.

I tried to find what graphics card I use, so I typed
Code: [Select]
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display
which returns:

    29:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
    Subsystem: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd GV-N105T0C-4GD
    Kernel driver in use: nouveau
    Kernel modules: nouveau
I use dwm. However, my build is kinda pre-installed so I don't know what kind of drivers I run, if any.

The drivers I found are:
[]Proprietary: https://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/193095/en-us/
[]Open-Source/Nouveau: https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/CodeNames.html NV-137

But I don't know how to install the above Nouveau drivers.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nouveau

I find that
Code: [Select]
mesa
is installed. No idea on anything else there, e.g. if drivers load by default (2nd section in above link)

Edit: I did
Code: [Select]
sudo dmesg | grep 'nouveau'
And here is the output:

So I assume I already have drivers? Can someone confirm this? I have drivers, but they don't support Vulkan?

Code: [Select]
lsmod | grep video
can help you.

 lshw is more talkative :
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -Sy lshw
Code: [Select]
lshw
Maybe someone can give you a better command...

Do you have any of the vulkan packages installed?

Do a pacman -Ss vulkan | less to see which packages might benefit you.

I see 3 packages [installed] above, but do I need to install more of these? These 3 I have installed could be tools or dependencies. I feel this^ is the closest to solving this problem, and I hope it does because otherwise I would have to install NVIDIA's official drivers (would be the first proprietary software in this linux build), at least that's what I got recommended from a Godot user to solving this lol

You are using the Nouveau driver.

As SGOrava already suggested, use the nvidia driver to get the best performance.

Or do like me, replace your nvidia card with a radeon card. :-\

Re: NVIDIA Drivers installation (Vulkan)

Reply #6 –
I know the official NVIDIA drivers have better performance and probably have Vulkan. But I would prefer nouveau, if it's possible, especially since it seems I have it installed. That vulkan package list is my last bet, before giving up nouveau, but I just don't know what to do with the package list which I posted, from the suggestion of @Lancia

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Vulkan (see installation section)

I did `sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader` without problems. Can't open Godot.
I did  `sudo pacman -S nvidia-utils ` without problems. Can't open Godot.
Restarted pc. Couldn't login to dwm (tty1) had some display problems.
I did `sudo pacman -R nvidia-utils` and restarted pc, and I can login to dwm(tty1) no issues like usual. Can't open Godot.

Anyway, I did this pretty much:
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -S vulkan-icd-loader vulkan-tools vulkan-headers vulkan-validation-layers
and while pc works as usual, cant open Godot lol

Any suggestions? Should I give up nouveau and go for official drivers? I don't even know why I got display problems with nvidia-utils, perhaps it conflicted existing drivers?

I assume it conflicts the previous driver, or needs some configuration to detect my screen? No idea. I don't even know if `nvidia-utils` is the proprietary driver lol
Anyway, I promise no more spam, this is the final question pretty much: How to make `nvidia-utils` work?

I tried to uninstall nouveau, so as `nvidia-utils` works, but I don't seem to find any such package.
Even did `sudo pacman -Q | grep nouveau` and I got nothing.
`sudo pacman -Q | grep xorg` returns:

Btw, I don't have the file `/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf`
Though it is blacklisted at `/usr/lib/modprobe.d/nvidia-utils.conf`

Running `nvidia-xconfig` returns:

Did `sudo nvidia-xconfig` which still gave warning but "new X configuration file written to `/etc/X11/xorg.conf`"

tl;dr of this thread: How do I find and delete/blacklist/disable nouveau?

Ok solved it; just opened software which requires Vulkan (Godot)
Posting this to help any1 stumbling into this post, who wants a vulkan renderer for GTX 1050 Ti which uses nouveau

1. Install the following packages:
nvidia, nvidia-settings, nvidia-utils, opencl-nvidia, vulkan-icd-loader, vulkan-tools, vulkan-headers, vulkan-validation-layers

2. Don't close the pc (otherwise dwm should be broken for tty1)

3. Type `sudo nvidia-xconfig` twice (first time it doesn't detect path so it creates half-finished file or sth. Just type it once and you will see an error, so just type it twice)

4. Do all 3 steps of this link https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1103093#p1103093

Supplementary links to have in mind: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nouveau (gotta ensure nouveau is blacklisted, just ctrl+f blacklist)

5. Reboot. Should work without any errors. Enjoy Vulkan renderer :) at the trade of NVIDIA spyware :(
