I have trouble with Vulkan Drivers on my laptop, as it seems as if they are not supported at all?
When opening programs such as “Mission Center” I see the supported OpenGL version (4.5), however the Vulkan Version is said to be unsupported. This is confirmed in applications, which can’t detect neither the dGPU nor iGPU, if they rely on Vulkan drivers.
Is there a way to implement the drivers, or is the GPU simply not supported?
Thank you in advance for the answers and with kind regards.
Have you got the package mesa-vulkan-drivers installed?
When using the Debian Steam installation instructions it says to install this package – did you do that?
K3n.
Hi,
The drivers are installed, when I run the command to install them, I am notified that the package is installed and up to date.

Fedora 41:
Installed vulkan packages:
$ rpm -qa |grep vulkan
vulkan-loader-1.3.296.0-1.fc41.x86_64

Been a while since I was on Ubuntu… but you can try:
dpkg -l | grep vulkan
To see what is installed.
Hi,
here is the output of
dpkg -l | grep vulkan
ii libvulkan1:amd64 1.3.204.1-2 amd64 Vulkan loader library
ii libvulkan1:i386 1.3.204.1-2 i386 Vulkan loader library

ii vulkan-tools 1.3.204.0+dfsg1-1 amd64 Miscellaneous Vulkan utilities
As I said, it seems as if the packages acn be installed, but are unsupported
Thank you and kind regards

The missioncenter.io site says ‘gpu support is experimental’, so that might not be trustworthy. What does vulkaninfo --summary say?
When you say ‘trouble’, do you mean that games won’t load? What else is going wrong here, your initial ask “Is there a way to implement the drivers, or is the GPU simply not supported?” doesn’t match my experience, Vulkan and OpenGL games work fine for me. Something else is missing – can you please share more information?
K3n.

Now more information:
Whenever a game relies on vulkan drivers it crashes or can’t be loaded, however, when I use OpenGL, it works fine, which matches the information shown in mission center.
I play Emulators, in which I can select my Graphics settings. In some emulators the GPU is detected if i use Vulkan, but then crashes if i load a game. Others dont show a GPU at all when Vulkan is selected.
Trying to run something that works with OpenGL 4.6 brings up an error, that says OpenGL version not supported, which again confirms the information, that OpenGL is supported up to 4.5.
Thank you and kind regards
Denis
Are you running a plain install of Ubuntu and using the kernel-native amdgpu driver or a manual installation of the graphics driver package from amd.com?
What does apt search firmware | grep amd-graphics say? (This is: do you have firmware-amd-graphics installed?)
Hi,
first of all i used
apt-cache search firmware | grep amd-graphics
to avoid getting the annoying warning about apt not having a stable CLI interface.
With that being said, there is just no output after using that command.
When I use
sudo dmesg | grep amdgpu
and
sudo dmesg
I can find errors that show the system failing to load amdtee.
Could this be a reason?
Kind Regards
Denis
I’m not sure, to be honest, I’ve used aptitude in place of apt/apt-get since time out of mind.
I now realise you’re on Ubuntu – did you tick ‘enable third party software’ when installing as per the Framework 13 Ubuntu 24.04 installation guide?
