Segmentation Fault when cameras are enabled

Detailed Description

I have installed IsaacSim 5.1.0 and IsaacLab 2.3.1 on a headless HPC node with L40s. I am able to run non-camera based scripts, however any scripts with cameras fail with the error messages given in the “Error Messages” section.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run any camera enabled script on a headless server with L40S wiith IsaacSim 5.1.0 and IsaacLab 2.3.1
    Example:
    ./isaaclab.sh -p scripts/tutorials/04_sensors/add_sensors_on_robot.py --num_envs 2 --enable_cameras --headless

Additional Information

What I’ve Tried

  1. The hpc node doesn’t seem to have libvulkan.so.1 so tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use the bundled Vulkan loader
  2. Set VK_ICD_FILENAMES and __EGL_VENDOR_LIBRARY_FILENAMES to NVIDIA paths
  3. Ran in headless mode with display checks disabled
  4. Cleared shader/cache directories
  5. We followed the same setup procedure on a local 5090 Workstation with GUI and that works

Additional Context

  1. Running this on a shared HPC cluster so don’t have sudo access. The node has 4xL40s, but I am only requesting 1.
  2. As mentioned, thought it was a missing libvulkan.so.1 issues, I attempted to work around this by using bundled libraries and setting environment variables, but the issue persists when enabling cameras, maybe I am doing this wrong?

Hi @omgunjalmtt,

The crash is caused by your GPU driver version. You’re running 595.58.03 (R590 branch), which is newer than what Isaac Sim 5.1.0 was validated against. Isaac Sim 5.1.0 (Kit 107.3.3) supports the R580 driver branch. The R590 branch introduced Vulkan API changes that the RTX renderer can’t handle, which is why non-camera scripts work fine (no RTX rendering) but --enable_cameras segfaults during renderer initialization.

Fix

Downgrade to the recommended R580 driver, 580.65.06.

If your HPC admin controls the driver and a downgrade isn’t possible, you may need to request a compatible driver version from them. NVIDIA Docker containers still use the host’s GPU driver via nvidia-container-toolkit, so the Docker container won’t bypass the driver incompatibility.

Also: Unset CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES

Your logs show a warning about CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES being set (common on SLURM/HPC). Isaac Sim’s Vulkan renderer uses its own GPU enumeration that conflicts with CUDA device masking. Unset it before running:

unset CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
./isaaclab.sh -p scripts/tutorials/04_sensors/add_sensors_on_robot.py --num_envs 2 --enable_cameras --headless
