"cannot currently show the desktop" after compiling Vulkan. about pikiss HOT 8 CLOSED

edit: i was able to fix it by going in ~/mesa_vulkan/build folder and running 'sudo ninja install', as mentioned in issue #165

from pikiss.

It's weird because the command should be run 🤷‍♂️
I'll check it out next week. Thanks for reporting it.

Tried on my OS with the latest RPi OS 64-bit and It's OK when rebooted. Send you a screenshot

Next time I edit the script, I'll include a check for installed files. In the meantime, the script works.

Thanks for the report, anyway. 😊

I've done this recently too sudo ninja install works until the next restart then I have to do it again - any idea?

Mm, It sounds familiar to me. I had this issue a long time ago, but I don't remember If It was a privileged issue, the Vulkan version I was trying to install, who knows... My current desktop is RPi OS 64-bit using the Vulkan stable branch (check out that you are not trying the main branch).

One solution you can try is to install the Vulkan driver provided with the distribution (the first option in the menu).

If I remember anything else, drop here a solution.

Good luck!

I think the problem with the Vulkan driver is If you update your distro.

In my case, the desktop is shown always on each reboot, but If I run apt update and install the packages provided on it, then after reboot, the system hangs on the terminal trying to enable the desktop environment. No matter what were the packages installed.

What is the solution to this problem? I don't know yet. I'll dive into that.

from pikiss.

I followed your thoughts and tried the stable one and it didn't do it every reboot but as you say on an update \o/

Maybe this could be a "partial" fix: https://misapuntesde.com/2024/02/run-a-script-after-apt-update-on-debian.html

What do you think about it?
