Use RLBench without X server

[fedeceola]

Hi @stepjam, is it possible to use RLBench on a machine without an X server?

you can use xvfb-run -a python xx.py to use RLBench in headless mode☺️

Xvfb is renders in CPU. To use GPU rendering, you need an X server. Follow the instructions below to set up headless GPU rendering.

Thanks @TengBoYuu!

@eugeneteoh unfortunately I am running my experiments on a machine without an X server. I was hoping there was an option for GPU rendering using for example EGL.

EGL isn't supported for CoppeliaSim (at least v4.1)
