According to the DGX Spark User Guide, NVIDIA recommends applying updates directly from the DGX Dashboard. My dashboard currently shows “Update Available,” but I can’t find any changelog or documentation describing what this update includes.
I’ve checked the DGX OS 7 Release Notes, and the most recent listed update is from October 8th, so I’m unsure what this new dashboard update covers.
Does anyone know where NVIDIA publishes details or release notes for DGX Dashboard updates?

Since it’s ubuntu linux, you can always use
# List all upgradable packages
apt list –upgradable
# Show what would change with dist-upgrade (detailed)
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade –simulate
Thanks, I saw these manual commands in the docs, but says:
we strongly recommend using the DGX Dashboard for all updates to ensure optimal system performance and compatibility
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr upgrade
sudo reboot
Do you know if the Dashboard Updates button downloads or installs anything beyond what’s covered by apt and fwupdmgr?
