Failed to initialize CUVSLAM tracker: 4

Omniverse Isaac Sim
1

Hi,
I am using the latest Isaac sim 4.5.0 and i trying to follow [Tutorial for Visual SLAM with Isaac Sim — isaac_ros_docs documentation] to try running slam in isaacsim.

After starting isaacsim 4.5.0,I run the following command in docker:
roslaunch isaac_ros_visual_slam isaac_ros_visual_slam_isaac_sim.launch.py
i meet errors like this:
[component_container-1] [INFO] [1741668935.652562197] [visual_slam_node]: Initializing cuVSLAM.
[component_container-1] [INFO] [1741668935.652655062] [visual_slam_node]: Use use_gpu: true
[component_container-1] [INFO] [1741668935.652661279] [visual_slam_node]: Enable IMU Fusion: false

[component_container-1] [ERROR] [1741668935.652706417] [visual_slam_node]: Failed to initialize CUVSLAM tracker: 4

In docker environment,the output of “nvcc -V” is : Cuda compilation tools, release 12.6, V12.6.20

In ubuntu 22.04 , I have a system-level ROS2 Humble environment

do someone know how to solve this problem?

“Failed to initialize CUVSLAM tracker: 4” is a pretty generic error code.
What is the output of your nvidia-smi?
Did you enable ROS2 bridge?
What is the output of ros2 topic list after step 4 in the tutorial Tutorial for Visual SLAM with Isaac Sim — isaac_ros_docs documentation?
For the carter_warehouse_apriltags_worker.usd scene, which version are you using (you can check this based on its path)?

this is the output of nvidia-smi:

this is the output of ros2 topic list after finishing step 4:

And i don’t think it’s IsaacSim problem,i’ve also tried [isaac_ros_visual_slam — isaac_ros_docs documentation],when i ran the rosbag file to simulate an image stream at step 4，the problem appeared again: Failed to initialize CUVSLAM tracker: 4.

oh,i’ve fixed it by reinstalling my nvidia-driver,my previous driver version is:550.120，and my newly installed nvidia-driver version is 570.86.15.
So it seems that the version of nvidia-driver and cuda is mismatching.
Thanks for answering.
