Carter Example Crashing Upon Deployment - Device Agnostic

Hi All,

I am experiencing an issue when trying to run the ROS2 Carter example on Isaac Sim. This issue has persisted across two Virtual Machines (Dell Power Edge R760XA - L40A GPUs,16 CPU, 32GB, 100GB disk, Ubuntu 22.04 Server), and a laptop (Dell Precision 7780 with an RTX 5000, 13th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-13850HX, 2.10 GHz 32.0GB Windows 11), and a Dell device with an RTX 4090 - additional device information has not yet been shared. Are others experiencing this issue? On rare occasions it has loaded correctly, but we are not running it any differently when this happens. Our crash report includes the following:

This can be used to allow the crash reporter to wait for up to that long for a debugger to attach before processing or sending the crash report.

Thank you!

Hi @eed, according to the crash log, there is no sufficient memory. Please check Isaac Sim Requirements — Isaac Sim Documentation for the system requirements.
