The headless mode works for all GPUs I've tested so far without UseDisplayDevice "None", including V100's. I'm thinking the "--use-display-device=None" breaks some subset of headless GPU/driver combinations. So...beyond some Nvidia driver version, some GPU's will break with this option. All GPU's I've tested work OK without this option, at Nvidia driver 455.32.00.
DRC, let me know if you want me to do some troubleshooting for you. Happy to help the project where I can. I am removing this from option from our xorg.conf deployment mechanism. If I get any complaints, I'll dig in and let you know wht I find. On Tuesday, March 2, 2021 at 10:11:30 AM UTC-7 DRC wrote: > What do they propose instead?
