Hi,

with the latest L4T available for TX2, we suddenly have the following errors running the official deepstream image [nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.0.1-base](http://nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.0.1-base)

sudo docker run --rm -it --runtime nvidia [nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.0.1-base](http://nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.0.1-base)

```auto
root@74fcaeae8582:/opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0# gst-inspect-1.0

How can we resolve this?

Did you connect TX2 over SSH ? `x11-forwarding` is not supported on DeepStream. Try `unset DISPLAY`

Hi,

I was able to resolve the issue: the tegra libraries were not mapped to the container anymore (/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra)
