Hello, After multiple try, I still am stuck on the flashing step. Here is what I have done until now : - Create a Ubuntu 18.04 VM, installed sdkmanager and tried to flash without success. - Made a dual boot Ubuntu 18.04, installed sdkmanager and tried to flash without success either I tried flashing with both method from the dual boot. When I start the jetson the os is starting without apparent issue. From the dual boot I don’t have the jetson in the list when I type lsusb (I tried to connect on different usb port on the host machine). What should my next step be ? Thanks in advance. ---

Hi @v.danjon The SDK Manager is known to have some issues if used from a Virtual Machine (VM). > [@v.danjon](#): > > When I start the jetson the os is starting without apparent issue. If the Jetson starts without issue, then when do you see a problem? > [@v.danjon](#): > > I don’t have the jetson in the list when I type lsusb Did you put the Jetson in recovery mode?

I had a coworker help me and he noticied python wasn’t installed on the host machine. After installation the flashing worked. ---

Would you by any chance remember what version of Python did you install? Also, what is your VM like? Mine is a VMWare Ubuntu 18.04 Guest running over Windows 10 and it gets stuck in step 3. It is like it doesn’t see my Xavier even though VMWare reports it is connected. ---

Hi @antonio_tirado As far as I know it is hard to get SDK Manager work with VM due the reconnections that are done during the flashing process, here is a post for reference: > [@Can JetPack/sdkmanager host be in a VM yet?](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/can-jetpack-sdkmanager-host-be-in-a-vm-yet/108010/3): > > Hi michaelbdevine, The sdkmanager not support VM server. Please use Ubuntu 16.04 or 18.04 on your host machine. Thanks! Regards, Fabian [www.ridgerun.com](http://www.ridgerun.com) ---
