Hi,

Does sudo apt-get -f install fix it?
If it does not, then please re-flash and try again.

You don’t need them.
Please just do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-jetpack

Hi, sudo apt-get -f install cannot fix it.

For the re-flash can you use the ubuntu img on the official ubuntu website? or there is already a special image provided by nvidia, where can I get it, some kind of tutorial?

Can linux host be replaced by mac os?

NO.
Please also avoid using docker/virtual machines, a real Ubuntu host PC is required.
