Hi,
i'm running Houdini in Linux 'openSUSE Leap 15.6' as it works fine with the 'amdgpu-pro' driver.
But now i have some issues with Vulkan reverting back to OpenGL.
On start i get "Vulkan could not be initialized. Falling back to OpenGL"
So the 3D Viewport only runs on OpenGL atm. But i like to also be able to run Vulkan. I se no reason why i would not work.
I have tested all i can from the driver guide
https://amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install-script.html# [amdgpu-install.readthedocs.io]
Any solutions to this?
Cheers!

Hi,
I think I ran into the same issue using an AMD iGPU (780M).
What worked for me was actually not using the amdgpu-pro driver
These are all the vulkan packages I have installed on my almalinux9.5 system right now.
So it looks like it works with the mesa/vulkan driver already.
And this works for me with the vulkan viewport, see screenshot.
And for context I actually have amdgpu-install installed as well but only use it to get the amdgpu repositories.
I needed them to get HIP running for other applications.
I noted down my findings while setting up AlmaLinux9 here [github.com]
