Hi I wanted to test the ObjectDetection_fasterRCNN and followed all the readme instructions. I used this command to start the deepstream app:
$ deepstream-app -c deepstream_app_config_fasterRCNN.txt

It shows following error:

in another discussion it is said that not to use sudo, well I am not using sudo to run deepstream app. How to fix this? any help?

Please provide which GPU you are using?

** ERROR: main:675: Could not open X Display

You can run from desktop directly, or you can run from remote terminal by exporting display,
export DISPLAY=:0 or 1 // xrandr to check display environment exported or not.

[rafeedul.chowdhury]

now this new error occurs:

[Amycao]

How about result xrandr after export DISPLAY=:1?

[rafeedul.chowdhury]

I don’t understand the xrandr you’ve said. after running export DISPLAY=:1 I didn’t get any output. would you explain more how to do it?

[Amycao]

Just type xrandr in your terminal, if display environment exported success, you will see display information by xrandr.

this is the output of xrandr I’ve got

[Amycao]

Try to clean the cache by rm ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/ -rf
if still error, try add GST_DEBUG=5 in the app command, run again to get more debug log.

[rafeedul.chowdhury]

cleaned the cache as you mentioned but the problem still occurs, could not open x display. I tried to launch with gstream
gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=…/…/samples/streams/sample_1080p_h264.mp4 !
decodebin ! m.sink_0 nvstreammux name=m batch-size=1 width=1920
height=1080 ! nvinfer config-file-path= config_infer_primary_fasterRCNN.txt !
nvvideoconvert ! nvdsosd ! nveglglessink sync=0

it showed the following error in the image:

how to add GST_DEBUG=5 to get more debug as you mentioned? would you explain more?

[Amycao]

The result mentioned in comment 17 got in container or from host?
GST_DEBUG=5 app

[rafeedul.chowdhury]

from the container

[Amycao]

Did you run xhost + before run docker.

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks
