Topic Description

when I want to open the isaac sim in the docker,I found that the app was stuck,


and the log was stuck at this warning,there are some wrongs in the log
[Error] [carb.graphics-vulkan.plugin] VkResult: ERROR_INCOMPATIBLE_DRIVER
[Error] [carb.graphics-vulkan.plugin] vkCreateInstance failed. Vulkan 1.1 is not supported, or your driver requires an update.
[Error] [gpu.foundation.plugin] carb::graphics::createInstance failed.
[Error] [omni.gpu_foundation_factory.plugin] Failed to create any GPU devices, including an attempt with compatibility mode.
[Error] [omni.kit.livestream.plugin] Failed to acquire rtx::resourcemanager::ResourceManager!
[Error] [omni.physx.plugin] CUDA libs are present, but no suitable CUDA GPU was found!
all those questions happen when updating to the Driver Version: 570.124.04 ,so if the 570.124.04 driver version is incompatible with issac sim 4.2.0?
maybe I have to use the original driver version?

Additional Context

here is the log

First, can you confirm whether nvidia-smi works correctly inside the container? This will help us verify if the driver is properly exposed within the container environment.

Also, could you clarify how you installed the NVIDIA drivers? Did you use the .run file method, or another approach?

Trying a clean installation and ensuring your container toolkit is up-to-date is a good first step.

Thank you for your reply! Actually I have solved this question by switching back to the original driver 550.144.03.When I use 570.124.04 ,My nvidia-smi works correctly inside the container,so maybe incompatible driver versions or residuals from previous driver versions cause this question.
