Here are some further investigations, if it can help:
- I have upgraded from 17.04 to 17.10 rather than doing a fresh install
- by default, the file /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json has its ICD's library_path set to libGL.so.1. If I change the value to libGLX_nvidia.so.0 instead, I can run vulkaninfo again without any problem
- `echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE` returns x11. At the login screen, when clicking the cogwheel icon, I am not given the choice to use Wayland so I am using 'Gnome on Xorg' instead
