When I ran the examples

Robotics & Edge Computing Robotics - Isaac Isaac Gym

I downloaded isaacgym, and I ran the code “joint_monkey.py” on the Ubuntu Terminal.
But in my enviroment, I got an error message:

root@d967d924ca56:/opt/isaacgym/python/examples# python joint_monkey.py

I built my environment with docker in docker folder with bash build.sh and bash run.sh.

FYI

  • OS: Ubuntu 20.04
  • Nvidia Driver: 470.57.02
  • GPU: RTX 3070

Any idea to solve this?
Thank you.

Hi @ksterx ,

With the default docker build and run scripts shipped in Isaac Gym, we do not support running in docker with the viewer. You can try adding the --headless flag on examples that support headless mode to run without the viewer. Alternatively, you can give this docker run script a try (it’s not well tested yet) to see if you can get the viewer running in docker. run.sh (201 Bytes)

Some of the examples do not enable the gpu by default it does not necessarily mean you have driver problem.
This may be useful.
