Whenever I want to start Isaac Sim (from the omniverse launcher or commandline), I encounter the same behaviour. It hangs forever in the line [ext: omni.kit.renderer.init-0.0.0]. See Image below
I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and the version of Isaac Sim is the latest release 2022.2.1.
Okay, but in the docker I have no problem launching isaac sim. I guess the problem is somewhere else since in the docker the same vulkan files are used?
Are you able to run it successfully in a container on the same machine?
For 2022.2.1, we have a copy of the vulkan files in the correct place and it acts like a clean copy of Ubuntu.
However, on host, you may have upgraded from an older version of the drivers where the vulkan files in the previous version were not completely cleaned and may cause an issue with duplicate/old vulkan files.
The folder for the vulkan library in “/etc/vulkan” was empty ( no json files ), but the folder in “/usr/share/vulkan” was with the correct files.
I can now launch Isaac Sim using the following steps:
remove /etc/vulkan folder
copy the files from /usr/share/vulkan to /etc/vulkan
