Cannot get Ollama running on Jetpak 6.2.1 in native install and had no luck loading a container

I purchased the Jetson Orin Nano Super in August and have been unsuccessful it getting it to function as advertised. Due to various changes in the booting setup and new versions of the Jetpak OS, I found that the various videos on-line pre-dated these system changes. The on-line setup instructions are obtuse and confusing as I went step-by-step. Even with all of the software changes, the system will not even load a browser to allow for communication. I did crow-bar Chromium into the OS using a suggested work-around. Once I got the system running I did manage to install a native version of Ollama. The problem was that Ollama began to respond to every prompt with “GGGGGGGGGGG”. Research showed that this issue was known to exist on the Jetson Nano when Ollama is installed “Natively”. No solution provided.

Re-tried with various versions of Jetpak. Gave up on installing my SSD and decided to go with just an SD card (250G)

Trying to install in a “Jetson-Container” on a fresh install of Jetpak 6.2.1 and ran into problems with the container install. Several warnings about "scripts being installed in directories not in “Path”. Installed OpenWebUI anyway but it froze well into the installation. Dead in the water again. Unable to find any support.

Hi,

Which model do you test for Ollama?

Since Orin Nano only has 8GB of memory, please try it with a model <= less than 4GB.
And also try to apply the steps below to optimize the memory:

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you also check if dustynv/ollama:main-r36.4.0 container helps?
We can run Gemma 3 1B, 4B on Orin Nano without issue.

Details command to deploy can be found on the page below:

Thanks.
