I want to install a nvidia GPU driver properly.
nvidia-smi worked well, but vulkaninfo doesn’t because of Segmentation fault (core dumped).
The detail is as follows:
My environment:
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
GTX: GeForce RTX 3090
NVIDIA-driver: 460.73.01
An output of nvidia-smi is here:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I think the last part of vulkaninfo Segmentation fault (core dumped) is problem.
How can I debug this?
I’ve done commands or procedures below:
sudo apt install libvulkan1
sudo apt remove mesa-vulkan-drivers
Reinstalling GPU driver many times.
Thank you for your cooperation.
