No card selector available for card vendor

Support
1

Hi, I tried to install Origin. It worked well when I used the integrated GPU.
But that isn’t good for gaming.
So, I switched to the discret Nvidia GPU with optimus-manager.
In this case the install crashes. I can see this messages in the window of the install process:

You’re not going to be playing games using llvmpipe.

Nvidia drivers (I’m sure you do if you’re using optimus-manager), make sure nvidia vulkan packages are installed (if separate)

What may be happening is that it’s loading the wrong back end. Even though you aren’t playing games yet, Origin will barf on detecting directx and stuff.

You may need to ensure that only the Nvidia vulkan .json files are in /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d or set an environment variable like:

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json

I don’t have Nvidia but it’s weird what they do. It’s actually found through Nvidia’s libglx like this in nvidia_icd.json

"library_path": "/usr/\$LIB/libGLX_nvidia.so.0"

In the /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d folder there are the following items:
intel_icd.i686.json intel_icd.x86_64.json nvidia_icd.json radeon_icd.i686.json radeon_icd.x86_64.json

Here is the content of nvidia_icd.json:
{
“file_format_version” : “1.0.0”,
“ICD”: {
“library_path”: “libGLX_nvidia.so.0”,
“api_version” : “1.2.186”
}
}

Yes, try setting this environment variable under System/Environment Variables in the lutris configuration of the game (Origin).

VK_ICD_FILENAMES for the variable name then in the field beside it, /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json

5

There is menu option Vulkan ICD loader.
There is an option in that, Nvidia ICD.
Is that enough if I choose that option, or I must to create that variable-value pair?

6

Oh, yes, try that drop list setting. I forgot that setting was there now. It should be the same thing as setting that variable manually.

Another thing to think about. You also want to make sure you have the 32 bit Nvidia driver libraries installed, if your distribution separates the packages.

8

The result is same. No change.

9

You might want to make sure you have all dependencies too. I’m not sure what all is going on (seems like the “no card selector available for card vendor” is the show stopper and I was thinking of it in terms of nvidia), but there are some additional back end dependencies that may not be installed in your distro for Origin (and other game clients)

For starters you may want to install Wine pacakges in your distribution if they aren’t already. Not so much because you will use that wine implementation in Lutris, but because it will pull in assloads of dependencies.

Then, there are some additional dependencies:

10

Those libs all are installed.

11

Is there any other idea?

i made an experiment, and i reinstalled the system. It was a surprise, Lutris installation was OK, and Origin install was also OK!
I was happy, and I was brave and installed Mass Effect. That was also OK. Another surprise.
But there is the third surprise. I cannot see anything related with vulkan in Lutris preferences.
How should I fix this thing?

13

I’m glad you sorted it, perhaps there was some corruption somewhere.

In Lutris, it would have to be the current version to have that vulkan loader preference but you won’t see that or DXVK/vkd3d settings and stuff in there unless you have clicked Advanced.

P.S. I still play those Mass Effect games over and over. Not every day, but often. Now I have the Legendary Edition, but I’ve always had a playthrough going for each of those games since I first got Mass Effect in 2008.
