Hello,

In old versions of jetpack, when I want to disable GUI mode, I used the following command:
sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target
This disable the ubuntu GUI and Open a black screen with just a terminal to work on.

In the new jetpack (Version 5.0.1), when I used the same command and reboot the Orin AGX, No terminal appears. why ?

ā€¢ Hardware Platform (Jetson AGX Orin)
ā€¢ JetPack Version 5.0.1

@user147114 can you try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1, Ctrl+Alt+F2, ect to bring up a terminal login?

Hi,
Please refer to

And generate the root file system without GUI.
