Error running deepstream sdk

revanthvarma2000 · June 9, 2024, 5:57am

I plan to use DeepStream for running an image segmentation model on my Jetson Orin. The Orin is not connected to any display, so I SSH into it. I have a Docker container on the Orin for running other processes. I installed all the necessary libraries required for DeepStream inside this Docker container.

Versions:

JetPack: 5.0.2
TensorRT: 8.4.15
Torch: 1.12.0a0+02fb0b0f.nv22.06
DeepStream: 6.1.1

However, when I run a sample test case, I get the following error:

$ deepstream-app -c source1_usb_dec_infer_resnet_int8.txt
No EGL Display
nvbufsurftransform: Could not get EGL display connection
nvbuf_utils: ERROR getting proc addr of eglCreateImageKHR

I tried various solutions online, but none of them worked. I attempted to unset DISPLAY to fix the EGL connection error, but it didn’t resolve the issue.

Greatly appreciate any help !!!

Did you change the type of sink config in source1_usb_def_infer_resnet_int8.txt? By default it is 2 which means display on the screen, you can change it to a file or other options.

PS, please also check $DISPLAY is set or not in the shell environment, you’ll need to unset it if there is a value and if you want to run remotely via SSH.

revanthvarma2000 · June 10, 2024, 3:07am

I have unset the $DISPLAY, but the same error persists. I will check by changing the sink type.

Apart from the EGL display error, could you please guide me in resolving other errors?

yuweiw · June 10, 2024, 7:24am

You need to replace the sink plugin first, and then troubleshoot other problems.

1. I modified the sink type to save the output to a file. Please find my source file below :

2. I did echo $DISPLAY and I don’t see any value, which is correct.

Here is the detailed error log

revanthvarma2000 · June 11, 2024, 1:14am

The above error logs are seen when I run the deepstream samples inside my Orin’s custom docker.
Deepstream runs without errors if I run it outside my docker.

But I want to run it inside my docker

This info might help you in debugging

yuweiw · June 11, 2024, 7:16am

Could you set enable to 1 and try?

revanthvarma2000 · June 11, 2024, 7:40am

Understood, it’s an oversight. I will try enabling the sink after going to my workplace.

One more question, yesterday I also tried connecting the display to my orin just for checking. The deepstream-test1-app worked when checked outside my docker container.

I used the default source and config files provided for deepstream-test1-app. The command I used is :

./deepstream-test1-app /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream- 6.1/samples/streams/sample_720p.h264

But when I run the same app, inside my custom docker, while the orin is connected to display, I got the similar EGL display error. Is it expected ? Docker won’t recognize display ?

yuweiw · June 11, 2024, 10:47am

Did you run the command xhost +? You can refer to our FAQ.

revanthvarma2000 · June 11, 2024, 5:56pm

I enabled the sink but still see the same error

To summarize,
I ssh into my orin (orin is physically not connected to any display in this case), and when I run any sample apps outside the docker container, the deepstream app runs without any issues.

But when I run it inside my docker container, it always throws errors related to EGL display and nvbuf as shown below :

I tried this : Running deepstream sample apps in docker container requires host networking and root user

but no improvement

Requesting quick help on this

yuweiw · June 12, 2024, 8:10am

So did you run xhost + on your host?
I have run the source4_1080p_dec_infer-resnet_tracker_sgie_tiled_display_int8.txt on my board without connecting to a monitor. It works normally.

revanthvarma2000 · June 12, 2024, 12:55pm

The link you have provided says, it is for dgpu.

So you mean I have to follow these steps :

xdpyinfo | grep display Use this command to see if host has a display value.
Ssh into my orin
Use the command “xhost +”
Launch the docker on orin.

Is it right?

yuweiw · June 13, 2024, 1:33am

When you launch the docker, you can also run unset DISPLAY in the docker first.

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
