Describe the current behavior
The command !sudo apt install -y vulkan-tools is not working correctly anymore on colab, it is throwing error related to compatibility issue. It was working the night before but now the GPU drivers are not supporting vulkan, which is very shocking
Cannot create Vulkan instance. This problem is often caused by a faulty installation of the Vulkan driver or attempting to use a GPU that does not support Vulkan. /build/vulkan-tools-KEbD_A/vulkan-tools-1.2.131.1+dfsg1/vulkaninfo/vulkaninfo.h:371: failed with ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER

Describe the expected behavior
The vulkan tools should have been installed correctly

What web browser you are using
Chrome

The solution mentioned in #3302 is not working anymore. That was my issue,
that it changed overnight. And I am confused if any updates in
the driver caused this.

You can reproduce this by first installing and then trying vulkaninfo

!sudo apt install -y vulkan-tools is working fine on a new notebook. Can you share a sample of code that was working before and is not working anymore?

Sure, here are the two screenshots

Can you also install apt-get install libnvidia-gl-525 and try again. I just did and it is working now. Let me know if this works.
