When you like play games in linux, a good thing to do is keep your Vulkan updated.
First, let’s make sure you already had the repositories needed.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt update
Then let’s upgrade
sudo apt upgrade
Or if you just want to install
apt install libvulkan1 mesa-vulkan-drivers vulkan-utils
Enjoy!
If you are like me and like to have a separated /boot partition, it’s probable that times in time you end up running out f space to install new kernel versions.
To solve such type of problem you have to delete old versions you are not using any more.
To be easy to do that I prepared a one line command that do what you need.
dpkg -l | egrep "linux-(signed|modules|image|headers)" | grep -v $(uname -r | cut -d - -f 1) | awk {'print $2'} | xargs sudo apt purge -y
Enjoy!
Who never ended up with this problem after upgrade or install a new kernel?
Let’s fix it!
First of all, let’s make sure you have git installed
sudo apt install git -y
Now you can clone the git repo that contains the missing firmware needed
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
Then, you’ve to copy the needed firmware to the correct place
sudo cp ~/Downloads/linux-firmware/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu
End then, you can update the initramfs
sudo update-initramfs -k all -u -v
