Hi everyone, some update and turnaround I found for my case.
I finally managed to install Isaac on two laptop (for dev only, we’re building two other “real” pc for training).
The first laptop :
| Driver Version: 510.108.3 | Graphics API: Vulkan
| GPU | Name | Active | LDA | GPU Memory | Vendor-ID | LUID |
| 0 | NVIDIA RTX A3000 Laptop GPU | Yes: 0 | | 6144 MB | 10de | 0 |
| 1 | Intel(R) UHD Graphics (TGL GT1) | | | 11403 MB | 8086 | 0 |
| OS: Linux Precision-7560, Version: 5.14.0-1057-oem
| Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11850H @ 2.50GHz | Cores: Unknown | Logical: 16
| Total Memory (MB): 15204 | Free Memory: 12859
| Total Page/Swap (MB): 2047 | Free Page/Swap: 2047
With ubuntu 20.04.
Just for info, with this machine on windows, isaac sim was installed without any problem.
The second one :
| Driver Version: 510.108.3 | Graphics API: Vulkan
| GPU | Name | Active | LDA | GPU Memory | Vendor-ID | LUID |
| 0 | NVIDIA RTX A2000 Laptop GPU | Yes: 0 | | 8192 MB | 10de | 0 |
| OS: Linux Precision-7560, Version: 5.14.0-1057-oem
| Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-11850H @ 2.50GHz | Cores: Unknown | Logical: 16
| Total Memory (MB): 15204 | Free Memory: 12859
| Total Page/Swap (MB): 2047 | Free Page/Swap: 2047
With ubuntu 20.04.
First problem encounter on the two laptop.
As the troubleshoot guide said, don’t install the driver thru the “additional driver installer”. Even if I install the right driver, I had hard time to make nvidia driver work as it should. So go with the .run files. I installed the 525.60.11.
On the installation of the driver, I had a message concerning the “nouveau kernel” which was in conflict with nvidia driver. If you get the same message, you can disable it :
create and edit :
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf
with
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
then
sudo update-initramfs -u
finally reboot
After this, I get some error with gcc and make library which was not installed, with an apt-get install It works.
With this first workaround, the nvidia driver work on the two laptop.
Now, this is where it’s strange.
On the first computer, with the omniverse launcher, I installed Cache, started the Nucleus server then launch the installer for Isaac Sim.
On the first try, the installer stuck on the “post install.sh” line, I know that on windows I just shutdown the omniverse launcher and when I restart it, it goes through this line.
But, at the end of the installation I got “Error occurred during installation of Isaac Sim: ETXTBSY: text file is busy, open ‘/home/deyna/.local/share/ov/pkg/isaac_sim-2022.2.0/kit/kit’”
And I got this each time I try, like 5 try (with Omniverse downloading isaac sim each time with 7Go, it’s a little bit frustrating). I think there is a chance when you install Isaac Sim that, during he installation, you will see 2 terminal launched at the same time and doing, maybe I’m wrong, the same thing. And this is why I get the ETXTBSY error.
On this laptop, the one with the A3000 card, I finally install it but with the container solution and Omniverse Streaming Client.
On the second laptop, the one with the A2000 card, I manage to install it with Omniverse installer after 2 attempts. I get the ETXTBSY error but on the second attempts it work.
So that’s it for my experience with Isaac Sim installer !
Now I can work on bridging ROS2 yeah !
Hope my situation will help you or maybe not but in any case, thanks for watching and have a good day !
