examples segfault on Ubuntu 22.04 (need to set VK_ICD_FILENAMES)

[shakesoda]

compiled latest (88558b7 as of this moment) with the linked zig revision in readme, tried both cross build and native on windows 10 (developer mode, not wsl) and ubuntu 22.04, zig build run-example-boids produces a segfault that looks to be somewhere in dawn. aarch64 mac build runs fine, though.

edit: on windows it works with -Drelease-fast, but not linux, so i suspect it's accounted for by issues #456 / #464 on there. vulkan driver is definitely working on linux, judging by vkcube

Thanks for the report! Things have become a bit bumpy lately, sorry it's not working :)

The windows issue is known and can be worked around with release-fast, as you noted.

I haven't heard of any Linux segfaults yet, though. I'll test on my Linux machine again soon. If you don't mind, perhaps you could capture a stack trace of the Linux crash for me? e.g. by running the binary with lldb -- /path/to/mach/zig-out/bin/example-boids, type run, and then bt once it crashes

[shakesoda]

sure thing. here's everything above start.zig from gdb:

looks like vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices is failing in dawn. if nothing else i know my vulkan driver is fine since vkcube runs (as do some other vulkan tests/apps) and vulkaninfo reports everything looking fine, shows gpu 0 as intel hd 620 (kaby lake gt2).

[emidoots]

Oh no, that's not great, this being in vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices means I likely won't be able to reproduce it on any of my systems :(

After some googling, it looks like this is a rather common issue to run into with Vulkan on Linux actually. this thread suggests that we might be seeing it pick up 32-bit Vulkan drivers by accident. I am curious if you have any such drivers on your system?

find /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ | grep libvulkan

[shakesoda]

i do, yes:

$ find /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/ | grep libvulkan
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_radeon.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan.so.1.3.204
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_intel.so
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libvulkan_lvp.so

[emidoots]

Looks like it might be a regression/bug in vulkan-loader that has perhaps been fixed already but hasn't made its way into a release/Dawn, lutris/lutris#4158 - this would explain why vkcube works on your system while Mach doesn't.

Try the following: run ls /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/ to see which driver ICD json files you have, there should be one here that indicates it's an intel (or mesa) driver in the filename. Then export this (replacing nvidia_icd.json with your ICD filename) to force selection of that graphics driver / ICD:

export VK_ICD_FILENAMES="/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json"

Then run with vulkan-loader debug logging:

export VK_LOADER_DEBUG=all
zig build run-example-boids

Does that work? If not, let me know what debug logs look like.

[shakesoda]

looks like that's the culprit, it worked (using export VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json on this system):

[emidoots]

OK that's great to hear, this will probably auto-resolve itself once we update Dawn again in the near future.

I'd suggest you set that in your bash profile generally, there are a lot of other Vulkan games that have this issue too (there's no harm in doing so.)

Do you mind if I ping you in the future to try it again to see if we did in fact fix it?

[shakesoda]

I don't mind at all 👍
