Omiverse Issac Sim running on Ubuntu 18.04

Omniverse Isaac Sim

Hi Nvidia,

I ran the Sim following this guide:
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/robotics/text/Robotics_QuickStart.html#running-natively
then got the error:
:~/ISAAC/ISAAC_SIM$ ./_build/linux-x86_64/release/isaac-sim.sh

Besides, it looks like I could not create a folder to upload assets after logging to the Nucleus server via the Web UI as in this guide:
https://docs.omniverse.nvidia.com/robotics/text/Robotics_QuickStart.html#nucleus-add-assets

Right-clicking does not give me a New Folder option so I guess I could only add it once opening IsaacSim. But yeah, I failed running the Sim itself as above.

Could you give some extra guidance? Seems like this file
‘/ISAAC/ISAAC_SIM/_build/target-deps/kit_sdk_release/_build/shaders/rtx/scenedb/SparseMemCopy.compute.hlsl’
does not exist.

Thanks!

Tad.

Hi, that error might be caused by unsupported graphics card or drivers. Please provide the output of nvidia-smi.

Yes, for this version, a new root folder can be created in the Isaac Sim application after connecting to the Nucleus server.

Does this mean I should have a new graphic card to run IsaacSim locally? :(

Yes, an RTX 2070 or higher is recommended but a minimum of RTX 2060 is required.

Yeah, thanks for your clarification!

Hi NVIDIA,

Now I got an RTX2080 card, but it looks like I am not even able to create Isaac folder inside IsaacSim, as in this video:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1feS-2WEmVVb2IxfV5omp6Cx3DsxwIJiB/view?usp=sharing

Thanks,

Tad.

Hi Tad. To create the root Isaac folder in Isaac Sim, you have to login as omniverse to connect to the Nucleus server with root permissions.

8

Hi Sheikh
What does it mean exactly login as an omniverse?

My IssacSim does not ask any specific username when I tried to connect.
Should I set OMNI_USER=omniverse, OMNI_PASS=omniverse?

The following video is showing my situation.

Hi Yusuke,

if you are using omniverse 2020.2

export OMNI_USER=omniverse
export OMNI_PASS=omniverse

then run
./_build/linux-x86_64/release/isaac-sim.sh

it will login as omniverse and then you can create isaac folder and upload assets.

im using:
GeForce RTX 2080 Super
cuda 11.1
nvidia driver 455.32

Thank you, dlan! It worked like a charm.
Now I can successfully make the Isaac directory.

11

Thanks @dlan. That’s the correct steps.

@yusuke_urakami, we have updated our docs with similar steps here.

what should i do? please help

Hello,

Welcome to Isaac Sim.
You need to have a RTX GPU to run Isaac Sim, RTX 2070, or RTX 2080 or higher .

Kindly,
Liila

i have the same error because of RTX2060， if i do not update my GPU , i can not launch isaacsim on RTX2060?

15

Yes. You’ll need an RTX card with at least 8GB of VRAM.
