DGX Dashboard Constantly claims Updates Available

I have hit update multiple times and have SSH’d into the machine to run sudo update && upgrade yet I cannot get this notice to go away.

Any suggestions, or is this a bug?

I ran into the same issue from the start of my initial setup. I ended up doing a system restore, which fixed the issue.

Try the manual update first.

If that doesn’t work, I do agree it is a good idea to do recovery. When I just got my DGX Spark, and after it updated itself, I noticed the BIOS/UEFI changed too. But the system was unstable, so I re-imaged, test it again, updated again, and did few more times before it became just the way I wanted and stablized too.

If you are going to reimage it, it is also the good time to repartition if you want to have multiple DGX OS instances or want to try other distribution.

Refer here for some of that discussions.

Thanks those commands upgraded UEFI Device Firmware from 0x00000001 to 0x00000500 and the message is gone

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr upgrade
sudo reboot

I have yet to look at the actual board, is there room for another m.2? I’d rather add a new one than split the primary up.

No, only one M.2 2242 slot

same problem
sudo fwupdmgr upgrade
