Hey guys,
i installed Kubuntu 20 on a new Razer Blade Stealth 2020.
Intel Core i7-1065G7 16 GB RAM nVidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti.
Everything seem to work. But when i move the mouse in for example Prey. The textures pops up like glitches.
I guess its the Nvidia Graphic Driver. I installed the driver on different ways. Same result.
My driver version : 450.66.0 (also tried the newest 455)
Vulkan: 1.2.133
Proton 5.
Is thery any tool i try out if the card works correct?
Edit: ok i tried now vkcube and i guess the cube should be turn around smooth but its stuck on one place and tried to turn without succes and it creates kind of the same texture popup as i have in prey. So i guess there so something wrong with vulkan.
Also found another error:
lspci | grep 3D && vulkaninfo | grep deviceName

It is actually more or less the normal install in Ubuntu, you just get the packages form the semi-official PPA instead of the Ubuntu repositories. For 450 its currently the same version, so probably did not make the difference.
Else it describes to use the on-demand mode, where the Intel GPU is used for the desktop and all programs as default, unless you start it in the way described there. But you could also just right click on the icon and choose run on dedicated graphic card.
In optimus laptops, which I assume yours is, since most laptops with Nvidia are, you can choose between 3 modes (and that is not dependant on the PPA, it comes so in Ubuntu and most other distros now)
Power saving - Intel GPU only, use it when on battery and not interest in using the Nvidia GPU
Performance Mode - Nvidia GPU only, use it when plugged in, and for some models the HDMI output only works then, and you want to use the nvidia often, or have to because of
On Demand Mode - Intel GPU is used for the desktop and all programs as default, unless you start them as described there or
use the right click menu, and there could be m ore ways.
You can switch between those modes with the prime-select command, the nvidia-settings app, or the mate-optimus applet (which also works in Gnome)
Did you check before when you had problems if you actually where using the Nvidia GPU, with Nvidia settings , the command or the applet?
But good to know its more or less the same. So maybe something wrong in the official one. I still will keep it in mind if i have again some probs with the official way :)
Just asked to get better in linux :)

In my case, No Man's Sky don't really like Proton version up to 5.0.9 (it causes crashes and glitches).

Do you right click and choose use dedicated graphic card or the environment variables to launch the games with nvidia when you use on demand mode? If not then you use the Intel GPU, and that points to that you have something missing with vulkan for nvidia but have it correctly installed for Intel. If yoiu did not try any Linux native vulkan games in performance mode and they worked there.
What happens if you run vkcube a vulkan demo with a spinning cube in performance mode?
What does
apt list --installed|grep -i nvidia
show
and
gpu-manager
both in on demand and in performance mode? It will show what ubuntu finds of GPUs and how they are used.
If i try "vkcube" in performance mode o got a black windows. The cube only spins in "on demand" mode.
not sure how i can do that.
apt list --installed|grep -i nvidia

On demand is to use the Intel GPU for all, except those you run with the right click to choose dedicated graphic card, or use the script from the forum you linked.
So Nvidia does work except for vulkan. there was a bug a while ago that some file had wrong contents, maybe that happened to you.
See https://askubuntu.com/questions/967335/vulkan-does-not-work
What does /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json look like on your system:
Mine is
{
"file_format_version" : "1.0.0",
"ICD": {
"library_path": "libGLX_nvidia.so.0",
"api_version" : "1.2.133"
}
}
The important part is that its libGLX_nvidia.so.0 and not libGL.so.1
the version number will change over time.
I have above file with the 450 driver
