Hi,
I’m tying to install Jetson Software using SDK manger on Jetson AGX Xavier.
Error occurs when “Flash” step after downloading completed.

Please, let me know what is the problem.

My installer is failing at this exact point as well.

To clarify, my host is running Ubutnu 18.04.2 LTS on a standalone laptop (not a VM). The host is newly set up (completely fresh OS install). Since installing the OS, I’ve:

  1. downloaded ‘sdkmanager_0.9.11-3405_amd64.db’
  2. Installed the sdk manager: sudo apt install ~/Downloads/sdkmanager_0.9.11-3405_amd65.deb
  3. Plugged the Jetson Xavier up in this order: HDMI, keyboard/mouse usb dongle, Ethernet, power - then pressed/hold ‘recovery’ button, pressed/hold ‘power’ button, released both (power light turns on)
  4. Run the SDK Manager, which was successful up until the above error during the ‘Flash Jetson OS’ step

Interestingly enough, if I power down the Jetson device, and power back on, I successfully boot into a shell on the device itself, ie. “nvidia@localhost:~$_”, which verifies that the device OS was flashed - but with the SDK failure I am sure not everything was set up correctly.

Running ip ad on the Jetson device shows that my Ethernet interface is DOWN (eth0), and I am unable to ping anything on my local network from the Jetson device.

I have verified that the Ethernet port on my device is physically connected to my network (the light on my switch shows that it is connected), but the Jetson Xavier device never shows up on my router (indicating that while physically connected, the Jetson device never sets up its interface correctly - likely because it fails before it gets to this point).

Just as a further detail, not sure if it matters, but my host laptop is connected to the same network at the Jetson Xavier device, but using wifi.
ie. using the following network between host/device:

[Jetson Xavier] ← Ethernet → [Switch] ← Ethernet → [Router/Gateway] ← Wifi → [Host Ubuntu Laptop]

I have verified that I can see the Jetson device from my host - running lsusb -d 955:7019 successfully shows my Jetson Xavier is connected (I have the USB-C connector on the front of the device attached to a USB-A port on my host).

So yes, any help on the OP’s issue will help me as well. Thank you!

I was having the same problem. It seems that NVIDIA forget to mention that their scripts uses python.

In yout post check these lines

2019-03-22 16:59:26.600 - error: /usr/bin/env: ?쁯ython??
2019-03-22 16:59:26.600 - error: : No such file or directory

it requires python command, but Ubuntu 18.04 install python3 command as default.

Install python: sudo apt-get install python

check if the python command works, and exit().

And NVIDIA SDK should work from that point.

I wasted like a week with that problem.Shame on the person that makes the NVIDIA documentation. You need to look very close to what they use in their scripts. I follow line by line until I found that python command.

Cheers

It worked! Yes, shame indeed. I’ll post my complete [WORKING] steps below for OP (any anyone else who is looking to get the board set up out of the box).

So for the record, this was my official install process for getting the Jetson AGX Xavier board up and running:

  1. Install Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (64-bit) onto an empty intel i7 laptop
    * this is the “host” machine
  2. Log into the host machine and browse to the NVidia website
    [i]* https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/downloads[/i]
  3. Download the NVIDIA SDK MANAGER software
    [i]* https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/dlc/nv-sdk-manager[/i]
  4. Install the NVIDIA SDK MANAGER
    > sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_0.9.11-3405_amd64.deb
  5. Install Python 2.7 (this is the step I missed in this thread, probably same for OP)
    > sudo apt install python
  6. Plug in HDMI, Mouse/Keyboard, Ethernet, Power into the Jetson Xavier device
  7. Power the Jetson Xavier device into recovery mode by press/hold recovery button, then press/hold power. then release
  8. Verify the Jetson Xavier device shows up on host
    > lsusb -d 0955:7019
  9. Open NVIDIA SDK MANAGER and follow the prompts
    * I used “automatic” install to create a user/password
  10. On the Jetson Xavier device, follow the Ubuntu prompts to set up the device
    * These prompts will show up on the monitor connected via HDMI to the Jetson Xavier
  11. Once the device’s Ubuntu setup is complete, setup will restart the device
  12. After the device has restarted, switch back to the host and follow the prompts in the running NVIDIA SDK MANAGER software to complete package installation (ie. flash CUDA, AI, etc. on the Jetson device)

Hi BitReiver,

Have you installed the “Computer Vision” successfully without “downgrade” some packages on target?

I flashed OS Image, finished the Ubuntu installation successfully (maybe because python was installed before). However, when I tried to finish the “SDK components” with the SDK Manager, it failed during the “Computer Vision” part. Manually run the script on the target, I found some conflictions and solved them by downgrading some packages with “aptitude install”.

I also encountered similar problems when installing ROS.

Install the following packages:
1)      libmysqlclient-dev [5.7.21-1ubuntu1 (bionic)]

      Downgrade the following packages:
2)      libcairo-gobject2 [1.15.10-2ubuntu0.1 (now) -> 1.15.10-2 (bionic)]
3)      libcairo2 [1.15.10-2ubuntu0.1 (now) -> 1.15.10-2 (bionic)]
4)      libldap-2.4-2 [2.4.45+dfsg-1ubuntu1.1 (now) -> 2.4.45+dfsg-1ubuntu1 (bionic)]
5)      libmysqlclient20 [5.7.25-0ubuntu0.18.04.2 (now) -> 5.7.21-1ubuntu1 (bionic)]
6)      libpoppler-glib8 [0.62.0-2ubuntu2.7 (now) -> 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2 (bionic-security, bionic-updates)]
7)      libpoppler73 [0.62.0-2ubuntu2.7 (now) -> 0.62.0-2ubuntu2.2 (bionic-security, bionic-updates)]
8)      libpython3-stdlib [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.5-3ubuntu1 (bionic-updates)]
9)      libpython3.6 [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.6-1~18.04 (bionic-updates)]
10)     libpython3.6-minimal [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.6-1~18.04 (bionic-updates)]
11)     libpython3.6-stdlib [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.6-1~18.04 (bionic-updates)]

20)     python3.6 [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.6-1~18.04 (bionic-updates)]
21)     python3.6-minimal [3.6.7-1~18.04 (now) -> 3.6.6-1~18.04 (bionic-updates)]

Not sure if it’s the right way to solve these dependency problems. Or I missed something important.

No, I’m sorry I did not see those errors when I installed. All of the remaining software packages in the SDK Manager installed without issue. I have not, however, installed ROS.

7

Thanks a lot. Problem solved.

I too am having similar issues. I was able to get the OS installed after downgrading python3 to python2.

Now, it is failing on the SDK components, CUDA step with:

Err:5 http://ports.ubumtu.com/unbuntu-ports bionic InRelease
Could not resolve ‘ports.ubuntu.com’

I have this configuration:
[Jetson Xavier] ← Ethernet → [Switch] ← Ethernet → [ubuntu on Dell laptop] ← Wifi → [Internet]

Looking at ports.ubuntu.com, I found InRelease (and Release) at http://ports.ubuntu.com/unbuntu-ports/bionic

Any help?
Best Regards

Seems the DNS on your Jetson device doesn’t work.
Can you check if the switch is assigning DNS settings to your Jetson device?

I see two typographic errors. What you posted:

http://ports.ubu<b><u><i>m</i></u></b>tu.com/u<b><s>n</s></b>buntu-ports

Try it with the “m” back to “n”, and the extra “n” removed:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports

Have your repository files been edited?
