I just "upgraded" from NVidia driver 525 to 530. Now I have programs that use Vulkan crashing with segmentation faults. Legacy OpenGL still works.

Filed two bug reports. Back to Xorg.

Turns out that Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS has a library out of sync.[1] No Wayland use of Vulkan on LTS until mid-2024. Apparently fixed in Ubuntu 22.10.

Back to Xorg for now.

The recently released nvidia 535 supposed to fix many wayland issues. Probably need to wait until it trickles down to your distro.

Search with Google for "NVidia 525 driver not installing Ubuntu" for the sorry tale of NVidia 525 vs. Ubuntu and Mint. There's a dependency problem and the install fails. There is much discussion of workarounds. If you try this using the "additional drivers" GUI program, you get a dialog box with a big X and an "OK" button, but no message.

If you want to run Wayland on NVidia hardware, you need to be heavily into Linux system administration.
