wsl2 dev container is not working

[JuanCarlos-TiqueRangel]

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well; I was trying to run crazyflow on my machine by using WSL2 ubuntu 22.04. I changed the name of the .json as you mentioned in the README. However, this is the problem when I tried to run in the dev container

Does anyone know what can be the issue here?

This line fails when building the container. Can you remove the "gpu" flag from the installs? I am assuming you want to run the CPU version, which should actually be the default but isnt at the moment. Also make sure the nvidia and gpu flags are commented out in the devcontainer.json. For the GPU version you'd need the additional requirements as mentioned in the README.

Also from your logs I can see that you most likely run wayland. Switch to X11 - its saver for rendering. See README.

Let me know if that works.

@OliEfr Hello, thank you for your reply and support. I was testing on a different machine with native Ubuntu 24.04 and I am facing the same problem. I need to make it work with GPU version. So in that case what can be the issue ? because you mentioned to install the nvidia cuda toolkit. But this installations must be in local ? it is getting conflicts with my nvidia drivers.

[OliEfr]

Yes the container toolkit must be installed on the host.

@amacati btw installing crazyflow as a dependency also didn't work for me. I needed to pin versions and add some dependencies:

dependencies = [
"crazyflow==0.0.2",
"warp",
"array_api_compat",
"munch",
"scikit-learn==1.6.1",
"scikit-optimize==0.10.2",
"wandb==0.19.7",
"matplotlib",
"termcolor",
"gpytorch==1.14",
"ipython==8.22.0",
"nbconvert",
"pygame",
"pandas",
"ruff"]

[project.optional-dependencies]
gpu = [
"jax[cuda]==0.7.0",
"torch==2.8.0+cu126",
]
test = [
"pytest>=8.0.0",
"pytest-cov",
"pytest-timeout"
]
cpu = [
"torch==2.6.0+cpu",
]
pin = [
"jax==0.7.0",
"mujoco-mjx==3.3.0",
"mujoco==3.3.0"
]

[amacati]

What errors do you get installing it from scratch? Can I easily reproduce that somehow?

Most of the pinned stuff are dependencies that we don't touch in crazyflow.

[OliEfr]

I recall that I needed to pin jax, and add array_compat_api and warp. More details I can check Tuesday!

Any updates regarding this issue? @OliEfr, how to use your dependencies to avoid the mentioned problems?

[OliEfr]

I created a PR that fixes the problem. Its only two lines of code. @amacati can you merge?

Merged. If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue.
