I tried to run the WebGPU example in Ubuntu 20.04 and failed. I use Google Chrome Dev (version 105) which i run from command line like this: google-chrome-unstable --enable-unsafe-webgpu --enable-features=Vulkan.
After running the example I get a warning in the DevTools Console - GPU connection lost, and white screen:
If someone faced a similar problem, tell me, please, how can I solve it? Thanks and sorry for my english.
Does it work if you upgrade Ubuntu to the latest release?
I assume this is some sort of GPU driver/OS issue that can’t be solved at browser/app level.
Ubuntu and video card drivers updated to the latest versions. Could this issue be due to poor Vulkan API compatibility with my integrated graphics card - Intel(R) HD Graphics 520 (SKL GT2)?
If open chrome://gpu/, you can see that Vulkan and WebGPU support is enabled:
I have the same problems on Manjaro Linux and a Nvidia GTX 1060.
https://webgpureport.org/ shows the same results as on Windows where WebGPU works.
Does anyone managed to run WebGPU under Linux?
If I run the examples from under Windows, they also work correctly.
You might want to ask the WebGPU devs for advice. Use the following Chat channel: https://matrix.to/#/#WebGPU:matrix.org
Thanks for the link. I’m forwarding this question to the WebGPU developers.
