Isaac Sim 5.0 Crashes Immediately When Adding Ground Plane via UI (RTX 5090, Driver 580.82, Ubuntu 22.04)

Omniverse Isaac Sim
1

Isaac Sim Version
☑️ 5.0.0
(Other options unchecked)

Operating System
☑️ Ubuntu 22.04

GPU Information
Model: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090D
Driver Version: 580.82.09

Topic Description
Isaac Sim crashes with a segmentation fault immediately after adding a Ground Plane via the UI menu.

Detailed Description
I was attempting to set up a basic simulation scene by adding a physics-enabled ground plane using the built-in UI workflow. I expected a flat static collider to appear in the stage, as it does in previous versions or on other hardware. Instead, the application crashes instantly with a segmentation fault the moment I select Create → Physics → Ground Plane. The crash appears to originate in low-level CUDA memory management during USD/Hydra scene delegate initialization.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Launch Isaac Sim 5.0.0 on Ubuntu 22.04 with RTX 5090 and driver 580.82.09.

  2. Wait for the empty stage to load successfully.

  3. Click the top menu: Create → Physics → Ground Plane.

  4. Application immediately crashes with Segmentation fault (core dumped).

Additional Information

What I’ve Tried

  • Verified only one physical GPU is active (via nvidia-smi).

  • Confirmed system has ample RAM (64 GB) and VRAM (>22 GB free).

  • Launch command:./isaac-sim.sh --enable omni.isaac.ros2_bridge

  • The crash occurs even when no ROS 2 nodes are running—suggesting the issue is in core rendering/physics initialization, not the bridge.

@565942185 i am just another user, but could you try reverting the driver down to R570 and see if the same behavior persists?

3

Thank you very much for your reply, but currently the official website only provides the 580-series driver, so it’s not possible to downgrade to version 570.

4

could give this a shot per Unix Drivers | NVIDIA -

Thank you very much! I’m going to try it right away.
