I'm getting this message when I run the example code in the readme that generates videos. It seems in headless=False mode it can't open the viewer and the env.render function returns None.

Any idea how to fix this?

I am on ubuntu 22.04, RTX 3090Ti. Driver version 530.30.02

You should ensure that you have working vulkan on your system. Try vulkaninfo and vkcube to make sure they work. You may need to blacklist drivers for other GPUs to avoid an integrated GPU getting picked up as vulkan device 0.

Getting the same error on fedora 39 rtx 3060. Anyone solved this?

Same error with Ubuntu with 4090, and seem like this is a persistent issue?

@StoneT2000 @kinalmehta @tomtang502 I had to dig a bit everywhere to find the cause of this issue and I finally found it: Vulkan is not selecting the right device by default and is trying to render on the CPU (which likely does not support DRI3) instead of the GPU. I found the solution on a forum for Arch Linux but the solution will likely work for all kinds of Linux distros, like for me on a derivative of Ubuntu 22.04.

  • Install 'vulcaninfo': sudo apt install vulkan-tools

  • Identify your GPU device: MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo

  • You will get something like that, with your GPU and your iGPU.

GPU 0: xxxxx:0 "llvmpipe [..]"
GPU 1: abcd:efgh "NVIDIA RTX [..]"
GPU 2: ijkl:mnop "Intel(R) Graphics [..]"

  • Force the Vulkan device when running Isaac: MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=abcd:efgh python3 train.py task=[...]

  • I guess you can also set the env variable at the end of your ~/.bashrc if you want to always force it: export MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT="abcd:efgh"

A funny thing to note is that running vkcube outputs

$ vkcube
Selected GPU 2: NVIDIA RTX [....] GPU, type: 2

even though the Nvidia GPU was listed as GPU 1 with MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo (GPU 2 being the integrated GPU). This might be linked to the issue.
