Carla: make launch return error - cannot find a compatible Vulkan driver

[Siqi-Wang47]

I am the new to carla simulator. I have followed the document to install carla on Ubuntu 18.04. When I run 'make launch', it occurred an error like 'cannot find a compatible Vulkan dirver '. I tried to run './UE4Editor -opengl4' under the folder ~/Engine/Binaries/Linux, but it still doesn't work. Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I really appreciate your help.

You can modify the file yourself. PixelReader.cpp(No need to change it at present) and BuildCarlaUE4.sh(Delete Vulkan-related, if it doesn't work, delete opengl-related). No thanks.

You can always install Vulcan from http://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux

@Siqi-Wang47 How did you resolve it exactly? I have the same issue.

how did you solve this issue , i am getting this issue on vmware

[jgollenz]

@ankurjainjob I resolved this by checking if I had the newest driver installed for my gpu. By default there was some generic driver, so I downloaded and installed the current nVidia driver. It worked fine afterwards (you need to restart then and check if the driver did actually update)

Thanks, but did you worked on VMware, sir I am working on VMware.

[jgollenz]

@ankurjainjob No, I didn't. Actually, I was just trying to get UE4 running. I do not use carla, if that is relevant for you

If you want this to run in a virtual machine you need to ensure that you have proper 3D acceleration with according drivers. I don't know what the current state of affairs is for that, you need to investigate. A heavy 3D application like carla is not the ideal candidate for a vm though. Best open your own issue, also.

Heres A way I found in order to avoid this issue and work with the Unreal Editor without messing around with graphic drivers. In this way the Vulkan requirement is skipped and the editor can start properly. Using the terminal reach the linux binaries folder( cd /UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux ) and then use this code in order to launch the editor under ( Opengl4 ./UE4Editor -opengl4 ) or ( cd UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Linux ) then type ( UE4Editor ). It should work, if it doesnt go to this site to install the vulkan driver https://linuxconfig.org/install-and-test-vulkan-on-linux
