There is a legacy install you can use if you don´t like to use the launcher.

in Linux. Vulkan could not be initialized Sept. 2, 2024, 5:09 p.m.

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!

Houdini on Wayland Linux Sept. 2, 2024, 9:52 a.m.

I have been using openSUSE Leap 15.6 as it works with the amdgpu-pro driver. And that driver is needed as you will run in the problems using the mesa open source drivers.

Leap's KDE Plasma desktop comes with both wayland and X11. The X11 i needed for the driver. Wayland does not render.

I have some issues with Vulkan reverting back to OpenGL in Houdini at the moment. But i will report back if i get that fixed.
