Hi,
I was using Omniverse with Omniverse Launcher 1.8.2. I was always able to launch USD Composer, but for some reason, it stopped opening since yesterday.
The current situation is as follows:
Click on USD Composer LAUNCH
The ‘LAUNCHING…’ button appears, but after about 3 seconds, it returns to the LAUNCH button, and it doesn’t start. This keeps repeating.
The command prompt only shows the following log, but USD Composer won’t launch. Issac Sim starts up, so I don’t think it’s a GPU issue.
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with Launcher. What exactly are you using in Launcher at the moment? The reason I ask if you really do not need to use Launcher to access your templates. It is just a front-end shell. Furthermore, it is now Legacy Software which are not updating and do not recommend. Honestly, I would just uninstall it, or at least do not use it. Everything we are doing is moving to simple, free downloads that do not require a log in at all.
All of our code is moving off Launcher and into GitHub and our own NGC website. If you are launching Composer for example, just find the install path and run the “omni.create.bat” file. Same thing with Isaac Sim, just go find the installation path and find “isaac-sim.selector.bat”. You can even make shortcuts on your desktop. However, just in doing so, you are already using the older versions, that we are no longer updating on Launcher.
To download the latest Composer and other templates go to:
Or better still just follow these instructions:
1. Download "git" from https://git-scm.com/downloads
2. Download "git Large File Storage from https://git-lfs.com/
3. Start a windows command console by using running "cmd" from the Windows Start menu
4. Navigate to the root of c: or d: drive. Example "cd\"
5. Copy and run "git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA-Omniverse/kit-app-template.git"
6. run "cd kit-app-template"
7. run "repo template new"
8. run "repo build"
9. run "repo launch"
I am only using Launcher to start applications. I heard that it will be discontinued in the future. But I was also unable to launch using the “omni.create.bat” and “isaac-sim.selector.bat” files.
Before it became unusable, I took the following actions:
Launched Isaac Sim or USD Composer
Windows > Extension > + button
I pressed the + button, and the folder list from my desktop appeared, so I tried to generate an extension in “C:\Users\username\Documents\Office Custom Templates.”
Extension generation completed.
Could this be the cause? Is there a possibility that some path was changed or something? I’m not sure what the cause might be.
There are many possible issues with Launcher. This is one of the reasons we are discontinuing it. It would be very hard for me to diagnose the issue with Launcher.
I prefer if you just update to the latest. Follow these instructions
