Could you run command vulkaninfo to check if the vulkan driver is correctly installed? From VkResult manual, result code -9 means VK_ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER.

Thank you so much for a prompt reply! The issues was on the Google colab side. The issue is apparently new since the last colab update on April 5. Adding libnvidia-gl-525 did the trick:

!apt-get install libnvidia-gl-525 !apt install libvulkan1 !apt install vulkan-utils

The issue is also mentioned here: https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/3556

All the best!
