Vulkan does not recognize the NVIDIA GPU. The vulkaninfo command displays a warning: "WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, for testing purposes only." Meanwhile, the nvidia_icd.json file is missing from the \usr\share\vulkan\icd.d directory.

Repro Steps

nvidia-smi and cuda correctly recognize the nvidia GPU, but when running the vulkaninfo command, a warning 'WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, for testing purposes only' appears. Only llvmpipe is displayed instead of my nvidia 4070 laptop. Furthermore, I noticed that the nvidia_icd.json file is missing from the /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d directory.

Expected Behavior

I've tried numerous methods over the past couple of days, but they all have issues. Could you please guide me to the most accurate approach? I appreciate your help!

Actual Behavior

nvidia-smi and cuda correctly recognize the nvidia GPU, but when running the vulkaninfo command, a warning 'WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant Vulkan implementation, for testing purposes only' appears. Only llvmpipe is displayed instead of my nvidia 4070 laptop. Furthermore, I noticed that the nvidia_icd.json file is missing from the /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d directory.
