For whatever reason, I’m not able to access the ubuntu desktop on one of my Jetsons. I’m still able to operate it from a remote terminal, but on the display side it always hangs on the boot screen, with the following output:
[OK] Started Docker Application Container Engine
[OK] Reached target Multi-User System
[OK] Started NVIDIA Late Init Script
[OK] Reached target Graphical Interface
Starting Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes…
Mounting FUSE Control File System
[OK] Mounted FUSE Control File System
[OK] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes
This is where it begins to hang indefinitely on the display. Is there any work around about what may be the issue?
EDIT:
I was able to solve the issue by uninstalling and reinstalling gnome-shell. The desktop is displaying again, though it appears to be a very archaic version. Is there a way to reinstall the desktop that comes preinstalled on the jetson image?
This issue seems randomly happened to users and we are not yet locating the cause of this issue.
What is the software version you are using?
I mean which jetpack release.
Did you use the sdcard image? Or using the sdkmanager?
There is nothing I can help at this moment.
Since you already had a workaround, I would only record this.
As for your question:

Actually, there is no need to do this because by default our sdcard image already has desktop installed. As my previous comment, this issue seems happened randomly. For example, I also use sdcard image but this error would not happen to me.
I’m not sure what you mean. Like I mentioned I re-installed gnome-shell and the result was a much older desktop (one that doesn’t respond to the windows key for example). Are you suggesting, I re-install from the sdcard image? Because I’d prefer to avoid doing that.
I mean this error seems happened randomly. Not everyone can hit this with sdcard image.

If you could re-create this situation again and help dump log, we may find out what is happening.
I understand that you focus more on how to recover from this. But what I focus and concern is why this error happens and why it is randomly happened.
If you just want to recover it, currently I could only suggest you to reflash the board.
Or some commands like sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
