Am following the instructions for Training an Obstacle Tower agent using Dopamine and the Google Cloud Platform. Am at the setting up XServer part, issuing this sudo /usr/bin/X :0 & export DISPLAY=:0 gives this error:
(==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"(EE) Fatal server error:(EE) no screens found(EE)
Have I missed a step on setting up a screen??
Hi @karl
This is likely because the GPU is not configured correctly. Be sure to find the correct BusID for the GPU, and add it to the correct section of the xorg.conf. Different GPUs will have different BusIDs. https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/obstacle-tower-env/blob/master/examples/gcp_training.md#set-up-xserver
Thanks for reply @arthurj
querying nvidia xconfig gives:
nvidia-xconfig --query-gpu-info
Number of GPUs: 1
GPU #0:
Name : Tesla T4
UUID : GPU-ef8e0ec7-f854-99ab-6745-45318731153d
PCI BusID : PCI:0:4:0
Number of Display Devices: 0
And xorg.conf includes:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
BoardName "Tesla T4"
BusID "PCI:0:4:0"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "UseDisplayDevice" "None"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1280 1024
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
Any help much appreciated.

Fatal server error:Hey Karl, I think I know what your issue is. In Xorg.conf, remove “PCI” from the BusID, so that it is something like this:
BusID "0:4:0"
Try that and Xorg should start. If it doesn’t, you can also try this line:
sudo nvidia-xconfig -a --use-display-device=None --virtual=1280x1024 --enable-all-gpus --separate-x-screens
This should auto-fill in the info into Xorg.conf.
Thanks for that, tried both (with reboots) but still same error message.
Using the last command the BusID line has been completely removed from Xorg.conf
Hi, I got the same issue with Xserver. I tried to replace “X:Y:Z” by info provided by VM,
but it does not work. I tried to reboot the machine and saw how it would go, but still got a notification that no screens found (EE)
I am stuck in this situation for a couple of days. Any recommendation would be very appreciated
Hi @emmanguyen
A user on the Gitter chat recommended “try to delete “Option “UseDisplayDevice” “None”” line from Section “Screen” at xorg.conf, works for me.” Let us know if that works for you.
Any suggestion on this? I also encounter into this issue.
Thanks, it works for me too
I went to the config file and delete a line of “UserDisplayDevice” in “Screen” section.
After that I rebooted a machine and run a command 'nvidia-smiand gotXserver` at the bottom of the window
This solution to the same problem works and for me too! Thank you!
Glad to hear it works for you all!
