Linux, Vulkan, AMD Cards - cammelspit - 10-04-2016
SO, I am more or less a Linux noob. I installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 and this is the first time I have installed Linux for the first time in over 15 years but it's kinda like riding a bike, I still know how to use google and get the drivers I need and such. I was hoping some of you nice guys might be willing to fill me in on what exactly I need to get Vulkan to work in Linux with Dolphin. I am sure I am missing something here since I don't seem to have any Vulkan drivers installed. I installed the AMDGPU-PRO drivers and it says they have Volkan included so I must be missing some prerequisites. I can also play some of my steam games like Shadow Of Mordor and such so I know the driver and the card are at least working. Is there a list of what Dolphin actually needs explicitly to get this working? I am mostly interested in just messing around with it but my curiosity is killing me.
Ubuntu 16.04.1 | i5-6600K @4.5Ghz | R9380
Thanks in advance!

Did you install the LunarG vulkan sdk? https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Install-LunarG-Vulkan-SDK.aspx

Are you sure you have Vulkan? Try running vulkaninfo

I followed all of the instructions but Dolphin just keeps telling me that it can't find the Vulkan Library. Of course I assume I am doing something horribly wrong here but for the life of me I can't figure out what. From what I can tell, it should be installed and working properly.

Frankly, now I am sure I don't. For some reason, vulkaninfo is returning nothing, asking me to apt-get to install it when it did run before while I was trying to install the SDK.

It looks like they changed the installer. Try using this ppa https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libvulkan1 libvulkan-dev vulkan-utils
