thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window'

[chipaltman]

I encountered an error similar to this one (copied from AUR comment, petRUShka):

Ignored style attribute: "standout"
Ignored style attribute: "standout"
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window: SdlError("Installed Vulkan doesn\'t implement the VK_KHR_surface extension")', src/window.rs:84:22
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Fixed by installing amdvlk 👌

Awesome. I'll add this tip to the readme.

Saw this same error on a different line on 18.04: thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to create window: SdlError("Installed Vulkan doesn\'t implement the VK_KHR_surface extension")', src/window.rs:133:22

My fix was to apt install mesa-vulkan-drivers

In Archlinux I've built from AUR but needed to install vulkan-intel package (via pacman) to fix this error.

Awesome GUI btw, very good proof-of-concept.

neither installation of amdvlk or vulkan-intel has helped me solve this problem :-/ i have amd radeon r9 380

@kronikpillow can you show the print out of lspci?
