You are probably missing vulkan drivers.

[DevLord261]

You are probably missing vulkan drivers.

nop i checked i have them vulkaninfo runs normally and giving most of the results true i did installed vulkan in my system

[kondinskis]

Did you download the binary file from the repository or ? You can try and install it through arch repositories, it's available there.

[DevLord261]

i installed it from the commandline at the website Zed 0.143.7 – /home/xxx/.local/zed.app/libexec/zed-editor and its the last version

edit : tried to run run this ./.local/zed.app/libexec/zed-editor Zed failed to open a window: NoSupportedDeviceFound which wierd

[DevLord261]

Did you download the binary file from the repository or ? You can try and install it through arch repositories, it's available there.

i am using hyprland and support for vulkan umm idk look at this https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/1396 but i can run vulkan games some apps need vulkan so i doubt if its the issue

[kondinskis]

I had similar issue to yours, but after installing it through pacman -S zed it works now.

[DevLord261]

I had similar issue to yours, but after installing it through pacman -S zed it works now.

still the same this issue has been with me since zed droped preview for linux this stable and the issue same so i dk

[stalkerg]

you should just try vkcube and vkinfo and show here

[DevLord261]

you should just try vkcube and vkinfo and show here

vkcube works perfect vkinfo is vulkaninfo here and its long no need to print it and its working fine

[aalhitennf]

I have same problem. I previously used zed-preview from AUR and also built it myself, both worked fine. It broke after installing with pacman -S zed :sweat_smile:

e. vulkan, drivers etc are installed and working fine.

did u fixed it anything u do i dont think uninstall with zed with pacman and reinstalling the preview will fix it instantly right??

[aalhitennf]

I installed Preview version from AUR and now everything seems to be fixed

Hey @DevLord261, this issue sounds a bit similar to this one:

• https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14204

Can you check and see if it's the same thing you are experiencing? Just trying to collect everything in one area.

[DevLord261]

Hey @DevLord261, this issue sounds a bit similar to this one:

* [[Linux] Zed doesn't open #14204](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/14204)

Can you check and see if it's the same thing you are experiencing? Just trying to collect everything in one area.

yep it looks the same issue i have but i did what he tries when the zed was in preview version but didnt work also as he said but i didnt bother since it was preview but looks like the issue is not fixed yet but yea same issue and with same error when i try to run the "bin/zeditor" directly instead of "bin/zed" display not detected or something but yea looks the same

i will close it as duplicate for that

[DevLord261]

closed duplication of [Linux] Zed doesn't open #14204

[andreymal]

@DevLord261 I'm not sure it's a duplicate

In #14204, the window appears but doesn't draw anything

In this issue, the window doesn't appear at all (if I understand your initial comment correctly), and Zed hangs somewhere (note that, unlike other bug reports, the Adapter line doesn't appear in your log)

yep i looked again your right but some like me and others not rendering but there is window so idk but mostly look as u said your are right maybe different bug or related i will reinstall zed and try it maybe something changes i did reinstall fresh system so maybe i got better luck

[DevLord261]

So after reinstalling zed and what did @andreymal said it looks the bug different and its not duplication after i also checked the changes in #14204 the bugs differ from mine theirs not rendering mine there is no window at all only background process of zed running called zed-editor

Yes, this seems a different problem, right now I have the problem described in #14204.

However, I was able to carry out some evidence, where zed behaved as described in this problem, where zed was running no window appeared or nothing. I was able to simulate this because I forced zed to start with a specific GPU.

I'm using MX Linux - Debian 12 bookworm.

[BinaryNerd01]

I am facing the same issue

I would like to know how to resolve this issue and start using the application. I didn't expect this behaviour. I waited a long time for it to be available on Linux, and now that I finally tried using it, it isn't working.

@BinaryNerd01 What is the underlying GPU in your system? Your logs says Zed is using the llvmpipe software renderer.

[DevLord261]

Hello @notpeter @BinaryNerd01

So the issue was is that the GPU is old i have GT740m which does not support VK_KHR_dynamic_rendering which a vulkan driver rendering comes in 1.2.6xx unfortunatly my gpu support like 1.2.625 which is before the version that released the feature in it thats why my zed window not visible at all u can check if u got the same issue try use intel gpu if it works then i think ur gpu is old otherwise u have different issue

@JosephTLyons IDK if my case solvable or just thats the way zed created maybe its better if u have a reqiurments page for the app where u publish dependencies and other stuff like being gpu old wont work

[notpeter]

Yeah, the 740M is pretty old (Launched April 2013) and unlikely to be supported, hopefully your intel gpu functions even if slow. We ran into similar issues on Apple hardware with similarly aged GPUs:

• https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/6853

Requirements are a bit hard to define ahead of time, for example the 650M/650M officially support Apple Metal2 (which is our minimum requirement) but it has a buggy implementation and thus unsupported in practice.

[DevLord261]

Yep i see that idk if its slow or not on my intel its working fine but i am not using zed idk what kind of development it support yet its look to me still a text editor and a beta stage to be a an alternative IDE to vscode or anyother

[DevLord261]

@notpeter BTW i wanna ask how to enable intellisence for my projects like typescript and javascrpt for react can u assist?

Just sharing this comment for potential people searching for an explanation: this also affects users with Linux and GTX 760. Vulkan API Version: 1.2.175

[Mte90]

I have the same issue on Debian Sid with Wayland.

vulkan-dev is installed and I am using the proprietary nvidia drivers. On shell it is printing nothing, I have tried to compile it but I had some issues with clang and lost the interest.
