It should find your manifests from the VulkanSDK & the mesa installed *json files.
The are found in:
.../VulkanSDK/1.0.XX.X/x86_64/etc/explicit_layer.d/VkLayer_standard_validation.json
and from mesa
/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json
Next look for the extension under "Instance Extensions."
If you have some extensions going for you you are good.
It should say that RADV isn't yet a conforming
driver,assuming you are using a radeon card.
Next check under "Presentable Surfaces". The field "GPU"
should give tell you your vulkan presentation instance.
You can create a vulkan instance without presentation.
Hence, that means without a card supporting vulkan you'll
have to render off screen.
Mine says:
GPU id : 0 (AMD RADV POLARIS11 (LLVM 4.0.1))
Next check the "VkPhysicalDeviceProperties".
Does it look like mine with POLARIS?
apiVersion = 0x400039 (1.0.57)
driverVersion = 71315458 (0x4403002)
vendorID = 0x1002
deviceID = 0x67ef
deviceType = DISCRETE_GPU
deviceName = AMD RADV POLARIS11 (LLVM 4.0.1)
If the fields aren't filled out then something is wrong.
Have you tried playing some vulkan games?

Vulkaninfo doesn't work either, it exits with a 'VK_ERROR_INITIALIZATION_FAILED', even though it finds a bunch of extensions first. It should look like that i guess.
Via's output seemed more detailed though, according to it, it fails with this: 'vkEnumeratePhysicalDevices ERROR: Failed to query - -3'
I don't think i own any vulkan games, i just wanted to poke around with vulkan.

inxi -bM
or run
glxinfo -B
Next check that your environment variables.
Check for the following two.
echo $VK_LAYER_PATH
echo $VULKAN_SDK
For me they are set this way.
VK_LAYER_PATH=/home/sr_ls_boy/src/VulkanSDK/1.0.61.1/x86_64/etc/explicit_layer.d
VULKAN_SDK=/home/sr_ls_boy/src/VulkanSDK/1.0.61.1/x86_64
What is Via?

for me and not the same placement for other distros.

Spoiler, click me

Since you cannot yet compile any vulkan demos, they only free vulkan
game that I know of is Dota 2. See if you can play it.

I can compile all of the demos, compiling and linking are not the issue, but actually running them. VIA is part of the SDK tools to check installation.
re your last post: my libraries and json files are exactly the same place, standard place debian instals it.
for me the mentioned variables are set by sourcing env-setup.sh, they point to my local installation.
re mirv: i have the vulkan runtime lib installed via apt. Version is testings' (1.0.61.1+dfsg1-1).

The first thing that comes to mind is your are missing the proper vulkan drivers
for your arch. Meaning you should check that both 32-bit and 64-bit Mesa and
vulkan drivers are installed.
I'll have to try VIA for myself.

installed at all but instead have installed the
That matches with your installed version 1.0.61.1+dfsg1-1.
That is a loader library provided by Khronos.
link to package
That is not the radv driver. You need
link to debian package
That would give you the necessary
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvulkan_radeon.so
No to be confused with
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvulkan.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libvulkan.so.1.0.51
It is those two which are at version 1.0.61.1.
