Failed to load vulkan loader?

[Boldsama]

so im attempting to run league of legends via lutris and while i can get it to boot, i cant get anything above choppy, stuttering gameplay using nvidias proprietary option in the vulkan ICD loader. im a bit new with lutris and all this so i did lots of digging and i can't find any way to point the ICD loader too the proper thing? ive used the following command to try and force it but saw zero changes.

export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.x86_64.json

im stumped on how to get vulkan to use the right ICD. heres my inxi output

using nvidias proprietary option in the vulkan ICD loader

@Boldsama

Device-1: NVIDIA GP104 [GeForce GTX 1080] driver: nouveau v: kernel

I’m not able to help with gaming, but for sure at the moment you’re using the kernel module not the proprietary driver for the Nvidia GPU, although It seems to be available, but not loaded.
How did you install it?
Maybe you could try reinstalling with the HW assistant (Garuda Welcome - > Garuda Settings Manager - > Hardware Configuration) and provide any error messages that might be given.

[Boldsama]

sorry for the late reply i had a nightmare using the dkms install, i couldnt get the driver too launch no matter what i did which caused the display manager to not work. i just tried the nvidia-lts package and while i did get that too boot, i still have the issue of no vulkan loader. i still appear to be loading in with the nouveau driver.

[Boldsama]

how could i make sure im loading the correct up to date nvidia driver? dkms seems too mess up somewhere in the install but still succeed.

[Boldsama]

Update, I installed nvidia-dkms and now the systems DM won’t start. I logged into a tty and started sddm and was able to be greeted and logged in, but it still sits on a black screen. I’m starting to give up on nvidia and wayland. What can I do to get sway to use the nvidia drivers or should I just stick with open source and dual boot for games I get poor performance on.

i have since restored too before i installed the dkms package.

@Boldsama

I logged into a tty and started sddm

Wait, whaaat? You started SDDM on your Sway install?

@Boldsama

I’m starting to give up on nvidia and wayland.

Actually, Nvidia+Wayland has come a long way compatibility-wise. At least some of the grief you are experiencing is due to how incompatible Nvidia is with Sway, not Wayland. Nvidia is beyond unsupported; they are borderline hostile toward proprietary driver use. From the Sway GitHub page:

Before installing

Nvidia users

All proprietary graphics drivers are unsupported. This includes the Nvidia proprietary driver. The open source Nouveau driver can be used instead. Tip: buy your hardware with open source support in mind.

It is still possible to get Sway working on certain Nvidia hardware, but it requires extra legwork and you need to pass intentional flags when you launch the session. This is from the Sway ArchWiki page:

Note: All proprietary graphics drivers are not supported, including NVIDIA. After NVIDIA driver version 495, sway works if you enable kernel mode setting and run sway with --unsupported-gpu.

The --unsupported-gpu flag used to be --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia. I guess they have decided to tone it down some.

To enable kernel mode setting, add nvidia_drm.modeset=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= line in /etc/default/grub.

To launch Sway with the special Nvidia flag of shame, add it to your greetd config.

sudo micro /etc/greetd/config.toml

It should look something like this:

[terminal]
vt = 1
[default_session]
command = "tuigreet --r --cmd 'sway --unsupported-gpu'"
user = "greeter"

I just copied mine as an example, and I’m realizing I switched from qtgreet to tuigreet a while ago, so yours likely looks a little different. The important thing is to change “sway” to “'sway --unsupported-gpu'”–make sure it is enclosed in single-quotes. You can leave the rest of the file alone.

Hopefully that will get you up and running. I honestly can’t say if that will be the end of your grief or not because you are trying to run a very unsupported hardware/software combination.

[Boldsama]

I’ll make some back ups tonight and certainly try dabbling in black magic, I just wanna play league without switching OS, if I had a dual GPU system I would just black list the Beefier one for the VM.
