Running CARLA Remotely and without Display
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial is designed for:
|
||||
- Remote server users that have several nvidia graphical cards and want to effectively use CARLA on all GPUs.
|
||||
- Desktop users who want to use the GPU that is not plugged on the screen for rendering CARLA.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
On this tutorial you will learn.
|
||||
- How to configure your server to have nvidia working on rendering without a display attached.
|
||||
- How to use VNC + VGL to simulate a display connected to any GPU you have in your machine.
|
||||
- And Finally, how to run CARLA in this environment
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial was tested in Ubuntu 16.04 and using NVIDIA 384.11 drivers.
|
||||
## Preliminaries
|
||||
|
||||
A few things need to be working in your server before.
|
||||
Latest NVIDIA Drivers, OpenGL, VirtualGL(VGL), TurboVNC 2.11, ,
|
||||
#### NVIDIA Drivers
|
||||
Download and install NVIDIA-drivers with typical tutorials
|
||||
http://www.nvidia.es/Download/index.aspx
|
||||
### OpenGL
|
||||
Openg GL is necessary for Virtual GL. Normally OpenGL
|
||||
can be installed through apt.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt-get install freeglut3-dev mesa-utils
|
||||
#### VGL
|
||||
Follow this tutorial and install vgl
|
||||
https://virtualgl.org/vgldoc/2_2_1/#hd004001
|
||||
|
||||
### TurboVNC
|
||||
Follow the tutorial below to install TurboVNC 2.11
|
||||
https://cdn.rawgit.com/TurboVNC/turbovnc/2.1.1/doc/index.html#hd005001
|
||||
|
||||
WARNING: Take care on which VNC you install as it may not be compatible with Unreal. The one above was the only one that worked for me.
|
||||
#### Extra Packages
|
||||
These extra packages were necessary to make unreal to work.
|
||||
sudo apt install 11-xserver-utils libxrandr-dev
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Configure your X
|
||||
|
||||
You must generate a X compatible with your nvdia and compatible to run without display. For that, the following command worked:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Emulating The Virtual Display
|
||||
|
||||
Start by killing all Xorg servers. This command could change depending on your system.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo service lightdm stop
|
||||
|
||||
Run our own X server. Here I use number 7, but in theory it could be labeled with any number.
|
||||
|
||||
sudo nohup Xorg :7 &
|
||||
|
||||
Run an auxiliary remote VNC-Xserver. This will create a
|
||||
virtual display "8".
|
||||
|
||||
/opt/TurboVNC/bin/vncserver :8
|
||||
|
||||
If everything is working fine the following command
|
||||
should run smoothly.
|
||||
|
||||
DISPLAY=:8 vglrun -d :7.0 glxinfo
|
||||
Note. This will run glx info on Xserver 7, device 0. This means you are selecting the GPU 0 on your machine. To run on other GPU such as GPU 1 run:
|
||||
|
||||
DISPLAY=:8 vglrun -d :7.1 glxinfo
|
||||
|
||||
## Running CARLA
|
||||
|
||||
Now, finally, to run CARLA on a certain gpu_number placed in a certain $CARLA_PATH basiclly run.
|
||||
|
||||
DISPLAY=:8 vglrun -d :7.<gpu_number> $CARLA_PATH/CarlaUE4/Binaries/Linux/CarlaUE4
