--- Support status ---

Noble (24.04) - Supported
Oracular (24.10) - End of Life (Removal after 2025-08-20)

Note: Please report any issues to mesa. ARM builds are not tested locally.

I think we should update the ppa repository. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/turtle

However, for the command apt install -y mesa-utils, it still reverted to the official Ubuntu repository. Therefore, I had to manually install apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers.

The good news is that this enables vulkaninfo --summary to recognize the graphics card, but for glxinfo -B, we have to fall back to llvmpipe.

You might need to set GALLIUM_DRIVERS=d3d12 in ~/.bashrc. then run source ~/.bashrc. Mesa can not autodetect or fallback and has to be set to a working driver.

I can get vulkan to init with your instructions and have d3d12 showing in glxinfo -B. Sadly llvmpipe is still faster on my end in glmark2. Except Furmark Etc.

I did use a server image and installed task-gnome-desktop. I do not need to remove or readd gpu between resets.

Vainfo does not work for me yet in WSL or Hyper-V.
