The error message you’re encountering is related to the NVIDIA repository not having a Release file, which is required for secure updates. This issue is preventing you from updating your package list and installing new packages.

Here’s a step-by-step solution to resolve this issue:

  1. Remove the problematic repository: The error message indicates that the repository https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common is causing the issue. You can remove this repository by deleting the corresponding file in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory.

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-l4t-apt-source.list


2. **Update the package list**: After removing the problematic repository, update the package list to ensure that your system is aware of the changes.

   ```bash
sudo apt update

  1. Reinstall the NVIDIA repository: If you need to access the NVIDIA repository, you can reinstall it using the following command:

sudo apt install nvidia-l4t-apt-source


   This will reinstall the NVIDIA repository and update the package list.

4. **Verify the repository**: After reinstalling the NVIDIA repository, verify that it's working correctly by checking the package list.

   ```bash
sudo apt update

If you encounter any issues during this process, you may need to manually edit the repository file to ensure that it’s correctly configured.

Comparison with other Jetson devices:

The error message you’re encountering is specific to the NVIDIA repository, which is used across various Jetson devices, including the Jetson AGX Orin, Jetson Xavier NX, and Jetson AGX Xavier series. The solution provided above should be applicable to all these devices.

However, if you’re using a different Jetson device, you may need to adjust the repository URL or the package name accordingly. For example, if you’re using a Jetson Xavier NX device, you may need to use the https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/xavier-nx repository instead.

Additional troubleshooting steps:

If you continue to encounter issues after following the steps above, you can try the following additional troubleshooting steps:

  • Check the NVIDIA repository URL to ensure that it’s correct and accessible.
  • Verify that your system has internet connectivity and can access the NVIDIA repository.
  • Check the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory for any other repositories that may be causing conflicts.
  • Try updating the package list using the --allow-unauthenticated flag to bypass the security checks.
sudo apt update --allow-unauthenticated

Note that using the --allow-unauthenticated flag can pose security risks, so use it with caution and only when necessary.

Hi,

We can confirm that everything is functioning normally on our side.
