JTX1 Boots, but no GUI appears

My TX1 was working fine, but when I restarted it, no GUI appeared. The boot output showed up and and the monitor recognized an input, and the screen was a bit lighter, but no GUI. If I press alt + ctrl + F1, I can get the terminal, but I have to unplug the HDMI cord for a second for that to work. I am able to SSH on and have tried using different cables, different monitors, nothing works. The other odd thing is that when I go into the console, it won’t turn on my USB hub and says that it might be broken. Not sure why this is happening, as it is only a few weeks old.

Sometimes USB gets “flakey” (that’s a technical term!) when power consumption goes up on on-powered HUBs or external devices which draw power from the host. If you have a powered HUB you can substitute I’d try that. It is possible that something in USB is causing an issue without actually being “broken”. Even if the cause of issues is something else, you pretty much have to solve that to know for sure if other issues are related or not.

One test you can do is look at the X log, “/var/log/Xorg.0.log” via ssh. I wouldn’t go to console mode, I’d just let it fail, then log in remotely, and get that log. You may also see something in dmesg, though it isn’t predictable if it will be right at the end of the log or somewhere in the middle (something like “less” might be needed to figure out where X info is).

The USB seems to be working now, I’m not really sure what was going on there but I don’t think it was related. I got the xorg server log, though I’m not quite sure how to go about debugging this.

I don’t see any explicit error there, it looks like a lack of config data. You said you use HDMI, and that it worked before, so it sounds like the cabling is correct. You may want to install packages “read-edid” and “edid-decode”. This should let you query what the monitor says about itself via remote ssh login or serial console:

sudo get-edid | parse-edid
sudo get-edid | edid-decode

This should let you find out if the monitor is still responding properly to query. Have there been any software updates? Sometimes updates change defaults, and if video was working through default instead of through EDID, then the new default could fail.

Ok so I ran those commands, and here are the outputs:

It seems like there is an error, but I don’t know what it mean.

Describe your video cables and type of monitor connector. No EDID could mean a missing EDID response from an older cable type, or it could mean malformed EDID response.

I’m just using straight HDMI into the monitor. Not quite sure as to the specs of them, but I’ve tried multiple monitors and HDMI cables that all support high quality video and are less than a year old. I’m not sure if this is relevant but it stopped working after the power cut out and turned off the TX1 (I am aware that this is terrible, I didn’t have much control) during and installation of ROS from source.

HDMI is good with EDID. The old 15-pin D-Sub is the one that doesn’t work. So your cables should be fine.

Basically there are many devices which can respond to the i2c protocol, the monitor is one, but it has a defined response. The query software got a response, but it was all NULL…either it wasn’t the monitor, or the values were all erased. Regardless of why it can’t read the EDID, it does explain why the monitor no longer gets set up correctly. Having this happen with multiple monitors tends to validate that the issue is at the Jetson side…most likely just software, although a power spike could do damage to hardware.

I’d suggest you reflash the Jetson. In the case of software this should resolve the issue. You could clone the root partition first if you want to preserve data. See:

Awesome, I really appreciate the help. This is all off a SSD, so when I tried to mount it on the host, it doesn’t show up. It does show up on my TX1 when I boot off the flash, so I guess I should just erase the drive. What would be the best practice for this, as I’m not trying to brick the drive.

A failed drive could do a lot of things, and may be related to the EDID read failure, but not necessarily (you could still have a different problem even if the SSD is bad). The EDID is read by software based on a response from the monitor…both software and hardware issues can break this.

Does the Jetson boot without the SSD (and how does video change with or without SSD)? Does the Jetson boot with the SSD as an alternate boot source (ignore this question if you are not using the SSD as a root partition)? On your host, does the SSD show with “lsblk”?

I can boot with everything working off the flash storage. When I do that, the SSD does show up through lsblk. When I tried on my host, however, nothing showed up (this could be due to a bad SATA to USB cord though).

Does the monitor work now without the SSD, or is that still an issue? If removing a bad SSD fixed things it becomes one of those interesting curiosities.
