Hello
Scenario:
Nvidia jetson ORIN NANO 4GB, ORIN NANO 8GB, ORIN Xavier16GB, ORIN AGX DEV KIT
Ubuntu 20.04
When i try to disable GUI using multiuser.target after the reboot i can not be able to see anything. Just a Black Screen and I can Login in to the system just via ssh but no via keyboard and mouse. I tried to reflash all the syistems multiple times but nothing change.
I also tried to create an image with minimal rootfs but nothing change.
On ubuntu 18.04 multiuser.target works great but i can not say the same on Ubuntu 20.04.
Obviously i tried to change monitors etc etc.
Could you please help me to solve this issue?

Hi,
This is expected since framebuffer console is not supported on Orin. Please refer to
Running without display manager - #4 by WayneWWW
Really?
What’s the way to use terminal on Orin system?
in my working scenario i have to disable GUI, how can i connect to the ORIN system? Via USB or what?
Hi,
Please try this rootfs if you would like to develop your use-case without Ubuntu desktop:
Root File System — Jetson Linux Developer Guide documentation
Hi,
I already tried to create a minimal image but the issue does not solve.
Hi,
Sorry I missed the you have tried minimum rootfs in the first comment.
It looks like multiuser mode depends on framebuffer console. If you would need to develop your use-case on the mode, it is not supported. Please check if you can do development on default mode.
Hello,
the use case is not for development, but for production.
I need to use it without GUI because it’s drains resources.
Is it possibile to disable framebuffer?
Hi,
If you don’t need Ubuntu desktop in the use-case, you may use minimal flavor rootfs(or basic flavor) and enable rc.local:

Hello,
as i said i already tried with minimal flavour rootfs. I also tried to run these command but nothing changed.
How can solve this issue? Why ubuntu 20.04 on Orin does not support anymore the multi-user target mode?
Thanks
Hi,
Please check the explanation in the comment and consider use other possible solution.
Hello, after some researches i think that there is no other possibile solution.
Is there any other way to connect another host to Jetson through Virtual terminal?
SSH via IP is not an option. I would like to use terminal via phisical connection, UART?USB? what’s another option?
The other question is, why NVIDIA decide to remove this feature?
Serial console works for text mode. For GUI you could install a virtual desktop, e.g., Vino, and then use ethernet (but if ssh is not possible, then I expect a virtual desktop to be worse).
Hello,
i do not want to use GUI, i would like to use just text Mode, how can i do that?
Serial console is good for this:

Hi,
Framebuffer console is not supported on Jetpack 5 releases. Please consider linuxdev’s suggestion to use serial console.
Hi,
