Topic Description

Detailed Description

I am trying to run Isaac Sim 5.1 on Ubuntu 24.04, but the application always crashes with a segmentation fault shortly after launch.

My system configuration is:

  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

  • Driver Version: 580.126.09 (open kernel module)

  • CUDA Version: 13.0

  • Operating System: Ubuntu 24.04

  • Isaac Sim Version: 5.1.0 (standalone Linux x86_64)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Over the past week I have tried many different approaches, but none of them worked.

    1. Changing NVIDIA drivers

      • 570

      • 570-open

      • 580

      • 580-open

      Among these, the only driver that allowed Ubuntu to boot normally was 580-open.
      With other drivers, Ubuntu either failed to start or the display did not work.

    2. Running Isaac Sim

      • Running ./isaac-sim.sh

      • Running through selector.sh

    3. Using selector.sh

      • The selector window appears

      • After selecting Isaac Sim, it crashes immediately with a segmentation fault

    4. Cleaning caches

      • clear_caches.sh

      • --reset-user

    5. Vulkan troubleshooting

      • Installed vulkan-tools

      • Checked Vulkan device

      • Tried Vulkan ICD fixes suggested in the forum

    Despite all these attempts, the result is always the same: Isaac Sim crashes with a segmentation fault shortly after launch.

Has anyone successfully run Isaac Sim 5.1 on RTX 5080 with Ubuntu 24.04?

Is driver 580-open officially supported, or is there a recommended configuration for this GPU?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have been trying to solve this for about a week and would be very thankful for any help.

Thank you.

In the Ubuntu 20.04 environment, I cannot proceed further from the pre-installation window.
In Ubuntu 22.04, the installation itself fails and the system gets stuck on a black screen.
In Ubuntu 24.04, the installation completes, but Isaac Sim fails to run.

Please share the corresponding Kit log file under ~/.nvidia-omniverse/logs/Kit/Isaac-Sim Full/5.1/.

Also, please try the driver version 580.65.06 or 580.95.05 recommended in Isaac Sim Requirements — Isaac Sim Documentation and Technical Requirements — Omniverse Developer Guide respectively.
