Running habitat-sim inside GitHub Actions runner

[tristanls]

Habitat-Sim version

v0.2.2

❓ Questions and Help

I am attempting to get habitat-sim running in a GitHub Actions runner using ubuntu-latest, which currently maps to ubuntu-24.04.

As expected, without libegl1-mesa-dev installed, running the Habitat simulator fails with the following:

ImportError: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

With libegl1-mesa-dev installed, running Habitat simulator fails with:

DISPLAY not detected. For headless systems, compile with --headless for EGL support

Installing aihabitat/linux-64::habitat-sim 0.2.2 py3.8_headless_bullet_linux_011191f65f37587f5a5452a93d840b5684593a00 and then running Habitat simulator fails with:

Platform::WindowlessEglApplication::tryCreateContext(): unable to find EGL device for CUDA device 0
WindowlessContext: Unable to create windowless context

Just in case, further installing nvidia-driver-550 and then running the Habitat simulator also fails with:

Platform::WindowlessEglApplication::tryCreateContext(): unable to find EGL device for CUDA device 0
WindowlessContext: Unable to create windowless context

Perhaps related, perhaps not... I am uncertain whether I need to restart the machine after installing libegl1-mesa-dev. I noticed the following after installing it:

...
NEEDRESTART-VER: 3.5
NEEDRESTART-KCUR: 6.8.0-1014-azure
NEEDRESTART-KEXP: 6.8.0-1014-azure
NEEDRESTART-KSTA: 1

I am uncertain how to interpret these "needrestarts." Restarting the runner also does not seem practicable since it would cause me to lose the GitHub Action workflow session.
