Can't start Unreal Engine 5 on Ubuntu - Vulkan Error

Spent a few hours trying to figure this out, Googling around. Tried all sorts of things, like installing a command line Nvidia driver, manually installing and configuring kernels, etc.

What ended up working, was to install the linux kernel headers from apt and then rebooting.

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

Hope this helps!
