Problems for Running Headless

[WeiChengTseng]

Hi all, I got some issue about running headless. I followed instructions in READMD.md in PyRep and RLBench.

For PyRep, I ran the following command.

nohup sudo X &
export DISPLAY=:0.0
cd  examples
python example_reinforcement_learning_env.py

Then, I got the output shown below.

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 3
QPainter::setCompositionMode: Painter not active
QWidget::paintEngine: Should no longer be called
QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 1
QPainter::setPen: Painter not active
QXcbIntegration: Cannot create platform OpenGL context, neither GLX nor EGL are enabled

Error: signal 11:

For RLBench, I ran the following command.

nohup sudo X &
export DISPLAY=:0.0
cd  examples
python single_task_rl.py

Then, I got the output shown below.

I also tried to run CoppeliaSim with the following command.

nohup sudo X &
export DISPLAY=:0.0
bash coppeliaSim.sh

The output is shown below.

I also ran sudo apt install libgl1-mesa-dev, but I got the same result.

Just wonder whether there is any solution for this issue. Any help appreciated :)

what happens if you run sudo X first, then nvidia-smi? I think you should see Xorg running like

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Processes:                                                       GPU Memory |
|  GPU       PID   Type   Process name                             Usage      |
|=============================================================================|

I had similar Error: signal 11: before, once you get it out frombash coppeliaSim.sh things should be fine, GL!
