I'm having trouble running the standalone example in the Docker environment

Omniverse Isaac Sim
1

I followed the steps from this page to install the Isaac Sim Docker environment.
Then, I tried running the standalone example from this guide using the command: “./python.sh standalone_examples/api/isaacsim.simulation_app/hello_world.py”.
However, the process gets stuck and shows the following message.

The GLFW initialization error in your Isaac Sim Docker environment typically indicates issues with display dependencies or GPU configuration. Is there any monitor connected?

Yes, two monitors are connected.

Please run the command ls /tmp/.X11-unix/ to determine which displays the X server is running on. Then, launch Isaac Sim with the DISPLAY environment variable set accordingly.
