Update Dockerfile for Ubuntu 24.04

[alnI3S]

Description

Related Issue

Since Ubuntu 24.04 pip install is no longer supported. One has to create a python virtual environment and activate it or uses the flag --break-system-packages less safer.

Ubuntu 24.04 has default user. To fix that one has to delete the default user and re-create it or using another username.

Motivation and Context

For using newer Ubuntu and Python

How Has This Been / Can This Be Tested?

• In Genesis root folder, build the docker image with docker build -t genesis:testing -f docker/Dockerfile docker/ or pull it from my docker hub docker pull i3salng/genesis:latest

• create a source file genesis_ws with this content:

# 1. define env
# 1.1 If your local folders have different names, change `WORKDIR` below.

WORKDIR=`pwd`
SHMSIZE="2gb"
CCACHE_DIR=${HOME}/.ccache
XAUTH=/tmp/.docker.xauth
DOCKER_REPO="i3salng/genesis:latest"
CONTAINER_NAME="genesis"
COMMAND="bash"

# 2. run
# 2.1. specify the source of the connections that we want:
xhost +local:docker

# 2.2. run docker container:
docker run -it --rm --privileged --gpus all \
--shm-size=$SHMSIZE \
--group-add 20 --group-add=audio \
--env=LOCAL_USER_ID="$(id -u)" \
--env=ALSA_CARD=PCH \
--env=CCACHE_DIR="${CCACHE_DIR}" \
-v ${CCACHE_DIR}:${CCACHE_DIR}:rw \
-v /dev/dri:/dev/dri \
-v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix/:rw \
-v $XAUTH:$XAUTH \
-v $WORKDIR:/workspace \
-e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY \
-e NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=all \
-e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all \
-e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 \
--net=host \
--name=${CONTAINER_NAME} ${DOCKER_REPO} ${COMMAND}

• start the container with source <path/to/genesis_ws>
• test the hello_genesis.py : python examples/tutorials/hello_genesis.py

Handle undeletable UID conflicts before calling usermod

detectUIDConflict suppresses userdel failures with || true, but the script then unconditionally runs usermod -u "$LOCAL_USER_ID" user. If LOCAL_USER_ID belongs to a protected or otherwise undeletable account (e.g., UID 0/root), userdel fails silently, usermod fails because the UID is still taken, and set -e terminates container startup. This makes launches fail for those host/CI UID mappings instead of falling back or emitting a clear controlled error.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

As I wrote in my comment, there are 2 solutions: create another username or delete the default user username. I select the former solution for convenient, so removing set -e solves the issue?
