Problem:
DGX Spark crashes immediately after login due to Docker container auto-restart
System becomes unresponsive (frozen cursor, no keyboard response)
Cannot access recovery mode or boot from USB
Need to disable Docker service to stabilize system
System:
Model: DGX Spark
GPU: NVIDIA GB10 (Blackwell)
OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (DGX OS)
IP: 10.0.0.186
the system consistently reaches the regular boot/login screen only to freeze/crash immediately, and I can only rarely enter UEFI (e.g., that one successful F12/F8/Esc attempt), this strongly points to a hardware-level failure rather than a pure software/Docker issue.
Hi, you may be running into a known OOM issue which will be fixed in the next major update. In the meantime you may be able to boot your unit into Safe Mode and use the CLI to delete the model files so they can’t be loaded in the first place
if you time it correctly, you can kill the docker before it crashes the system. Ask me how I know? :)
