Black screen on Coppelia startup

[biiigwang777]

When i start the new version of coppelia from my ubuntu20.04(WSL2) terminal with ./coppeliaSim.sh a black screen fills the scene area and i cannot see my scenes when i open them and cant therefore run my simulations. Cannot open new scenes or get anything in the scene besides the black screen.

Hello,

does it run fine on a regular Ubuntu machine? From what I know, GUI support for WSL is less than 2-3 weeks old. We haven't tried yet either..

[Edit] I just tried and it seems to be working fine on Win11 with Nvidia drivers and Ubuntu 20.04 guest. Did you follow the instructions correctly for installing the GUI support on WSL?

Cheers

[biiigwang777]

Thank you for your reply!🌷

I think I have configured it according to the instructions. This WSL2 can run other GUI APPs normally. Other UI components of coppeliaSim can also work normally. Only the "scene" window is blank.

Since June this year, I have been able to run CoppeliaSim on WSL2 on another laptop, which has performed very well. So far, I have not encountered any problems. (CPU:AMD Ryzen 7 5700U with Radeon Graphics;Ubuntu20.04)

It is estimated that GUI support has adaptation problems on different CPUs🤷‍♂️.

When you say that you can run other GUI apps normally, are those apps OpenGL-based? See, the black screen you have is the OpenGL part, but the rest of the GUI displays fine (non-OpenGL). Try with another OpenGL app and see if that displays fine.

this is a known problem even for gazebo/rviz

https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/455

It only affect intel GPU, and most likely it seems need a fix on the driver side. You can use software rendering in the meantime (there is a command to enable it, but I don't remember it)

but when I run the `./coppeliaSim.sh` I see in the terminal the following

Code: Select all

[CoppeliaSim:loadinfo]   OpenGL: Microsoft Corporation, Renderer: D3D12 (Intel(R) UHD Graphics), Version: 4.1 (Compatibility Profile) Mesa 23.2.1-1ubuntu3.1~22.04.2

Is this the correct behavior? How do I instruct the simulator to use the GPU?
