I have tried all the methods in the forum but I can’t seem to find any solution.
I have tried both
lightdm
gdm3
both the managers work when freshly installed but after a day of running when the system is rebooted the display manager configurations are deleted (/etc/lightdm & /etc/gdm3) and I cannot get the display manager running gain via systemctl restart. Could anyone give me a decent solution ?
Dear @anil-kumar.chavali,
If the system is continuously on, you don’t see the issue? or you see the issue after a day of running and persists even after reboot.
display manager configurations are deleted (/etc/lightdm & /etc/gdm3)
It means, you don’t see lightdm or gdm folder at all when you see this issue? Heard from couple of customer on display issue but I could not reproduce the issue with couple of reboot immediately after flash or after a day. I need to check if all have this same symptom deleted files when they hit the issue.
Could you please provide us with detailed steps on how to reproduce this issue on our end? It would be helpful if you could share the exact commands you are using, including the commands to reboot the system. This will enable us to replicate the problem and provide you with a solution.
Dear @anil-kumar.chavali,
When I try to run sudo reboot on Tegra B directly, I lost access to Tegra and have to do tegrareset x2 on aurix console to get access back.
I issued poweroff/poweron command from aurix to restart the target and noticed no issue with display manager
nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~$ systemctl status display-manager

The issue you faced with tegraB seems to be another problem unrelated to mine. I don’t loose access to tegra B , I only loose the display after an overnight period (leaving it powered on). What I notice is that if I copied any ssh keys , they get deleted on the tegra as well, but no other access issues.
I did try the commands on the aurix but it doesn’t seem to help. Kindly let me know if you have any other leads.
After multiple trials and tests, I managed to find the root cause its due to
sudo apt-get upgrade
By default the Ubunutu software updater is set to download and install security updates daily. This explains why I was only seeing issues after an overnight period. I still don’t know why things go awry when an security upgrade is done, and would request Nvidia to investigate.
For those looking to solve this issue :
After gdm3/lightdm install , go to the software updater settings as shown below:
Once the settings window opens from change the default settings to the one shown below:
