Multiple Display Errors when launching the TDW docker image in a remote server about tdw HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi - have you tried using xpra to view a remote render? Here is a link to our documentation on this approach:

@YanjunChen329 What is the output of nvidia-smi? Your drivers might be out of date.

Hi,

Thank you for the prompt replies! I tried to follow the instructions in the link that @jemsMIT provided. However, I still encountered the same "Can't open display: 80" error. Here is the details of my steps:

First, I can't run step 2: DISPLAY=:80 vlgrun -d :0 ./tdw.x86_64 because my host container does not have ./TDW.x86_64. I assumed that this is the command I should run when I am in the TDW container. Thus, I followed the shell script tdw/Docker/start_container_xpra.sh for server-side code. Here are the commands I run:

DISPLAY=:0
xhost +local:root
xpra start :80
DISPLAY=:80
xhost +local:root

sudo docker run -it \
  --rm \
  --gpus all \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  --network host \
  vglrun -d :0 \
  tdw:v1.6.0 \
  ./TDW/TDW.x86_64

However, for the last command docker complains that no image vglrun can be found. I think this is a small typo in the shell script so I run the following command instead:

sudo docker run -it \
  --rm \
  --gpus all \
  -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
  -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
  --network host \
  tdw:v1.6.0 \
  vglrun -d :0 ./TDW/TDW.x86_64

After it started running, I went to my Mac and tried the command xpra attach --ssh=ssh ssh/<my_server_hostname>/80. However, the following error shows up:

Warning: vendor 'Intel Inc.' is greylisted,
you may want to turn off OpenGL if you encounter bugs

failed to connect to XXXX:80, retrying for 20 seconds

I also tried to connect to my xpra server through web browsers following a tutorial online. I managed to see the Xpra favicon but immediately after, an error message popped up saying: ERROR CODE: GPU_DEAD_ON_ARRIVAL

The thing that baffles me the most is that I received the OpenGL error after I installed X-server and VNC on the TDW docker image. Is there any dependency that I may be lacking or is there any other approach that I could try? Thank you again for your help!

@alters-mit My remote server has driver version 430.5. Here is the output from running nvidia-smi:

@YanjunChen329 I found numerous problems with TDW's Docker container, which I fixed. Try upgrading: pip3 install tdw -U and see our Docker documentation

Please let me know if that helps solve your problem.

Closing this ticket due to inactivity and because the bug has likely been fixed.
