Empty window shows up when running on llvmpipe

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

Since Zed doesn't support OpenGL yet (hopefully will support is soon), I have to use llvmpipe for vulkan.

Running zed directly didn't do anything (even though I'm logged in as root). Running sudo $(which ~/.local/zed.app/bin/zed) only opened a window with only a frame (you could click through it). This doesn't seem to be a WSL-only bug because I encountered it on an even older laptop.

Environment

WSL 2 - Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS on Windows 10 x86_64 GPU - doesn't support vulkan

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

@TadaHrd I think your issue may be related to older packages in Ubuntu 22 (updated in Ubuntu24). Others have reported using the backported llvm and mesa from the kisak/kisak-mesa ppa have helped.

Could you try this:

sudo apt-get install libvulkan-dev
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

I'm on WSL, so installing the mesa drivers broke it even further (vkcube no longer works, it says Failed to create DXCore adapter factory) + there are no vulkan drivers for my GPU. There is no window, just a blinking cursor in the terminal.

[notpeter]

Sorry to hear that @TadaHrd. One last thing, other folks reported under WSL that this was sufficient to get things working with X11 but not wayland. Any chance this works: WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' zed --foreground (or similarly WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' vkcube)?

[TadaHrd]

@notpeter Same issue

[danpozmanter]

WAYLAND_DISPLAY='' zed --foreground doesn't work for me. Same issue.
