Training Object Detection from Simulation in Docker on Ubuntu 20.04

Autonomous Machines Isaac Isaac SDK + Isaac Sim
#1

Hi all,

is it possible to run the object detection tutorial
https://docs.nvidia.com/isaac/isaac/doc/tutorials/training_in_docker.html
on a system with Ubuntu 20.04?

I could successfully create and execute the start.sh script opening the jupyter notebook. When running the first cells an Unity 3D window pops up constantly flashing generated training images. However, the notebook responses with “Generated Samples: 0” (see appended picture) while localhost:3000 is not accessible.

Hope you can help!

Hi I got the same problem on Ubuntu 18.
This is the same problem Cannot generate samples data from Docker Isaac Object Detection Training

Could you verify that GPU support in Docker is working correctly with the following command from the tutorial?

docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:10.0-base nvidia-smi

We have seen this issue when GPUs are not available properly in the container before at least.

Looks good to me:

The outputs are similiar to Cannot generate samples data from Docker Isaac Object Detection Training - #5 by sofiahradzi

Any suggestions from your side on how to debug this issue?

#5

Hi, I got my solutions on Ubuntu 18.

Modify the start.sh like this

#if [[ $IS_19 == 1 ]]; then
NV_FLAG="--gpus=all"
#else
#    NV_FLAG="--runtime=nvidia -e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all"
#fi

Because I found my docker’s version is 20.
It will use NV_FLAG="--runtime=nvidia -e CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all", but this will cause the problem.
So I change to NV_FLAG="--gpus=all"
