I just installed issac gym via anaconda in ubuntu 20.04 (wsl2) and I get this error when I tried to run the example joint_monkey.py *** Warning: failed to preload CUDA lib *** Warning: failed to preload PhysX libs Importing module ‘gym_37’ (/home/ranat/issacgym/python/isaacgym/_bindings/linux-x8…

I hope it works with wsl2 as soon as possible

Hi @DDPG7 , Isaac Gym doesn’t support wsl2 because of driver limitations. Is using Windows a hard requirement for you?

No. But the standard OS for my company is Windows. I can’t connect my Linux PC to the company networks.

I also get such problem with my ubuntu 20.04, and it is not wsl. Why?

@vmakoviychuk Is there any intention to support Isaac Gym in Windows 11 + WSL2 which has full CUDA support?

I am facing the same error in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well. I am just using a virtual machine to run the ubuntu. Please, help us out with this.

Hi It does not work as a specification in a virtual environment. 2021年10月25日(月) 10:15 kaykay via NVIDIA Developer Forums < nvidia@discoursemail.com >:

I see people using ubuntu 20.04 also facing this as pointed out by @liming18 . So, not sure if is really due to the virtual environment. Hopefully, we hear something soon from the NVIDIA team.

The first thing to check is whether the driver version is correct. I also have the experience of changing the driver and doing well. However, if you were using WSL etc., you will not be able to access the GPU. 2021年10月25日(月) 11:07 kaykay via NVIDIA Developer Forums < nvidia@discoursemail.com >:

Check if your PC has an Nvidia GPU
