Hi, I’m working on xavier nx using R32.7.3 and met a quetion.
This board occasionally experiences a situation where gnome shell does not start and HDMI no output, but it can be accessed through SSH via Ethernet and microUSB ports.
Last time I just reboot and it doesn’t show again but I met the same situation several days after. Unfortunally, I disabled syslog store and can not get the log.
I use systemctl restart gdm to see if working but nothing change, and when I use journalctl -u gdm, I get the following message. I wonder if this give some important information.
And I have opened syslog and wait for next time this problem showup to analyze.
Thanks for help!
here is the journalctl log and xorg.log
gdm1.txt (83.4 KB)
Xorg.0.log (15.0 KB)
and here is the normal xorg.log
Xorg.1.log (18.1 KB)
Hi,
It sounds like it may fail to read EDID of the HDMI device and cannot initialize display. If you use developer kit, please try other TVs to clarify whether the failure only occurs with a specific TV. And may try other HDMI cables.
I don’t think so, our HDMI out is connected to FPGA and put into screen and we set the EDID as static in dts.
I say gnome is not running because we used .config/autostart/sh.desktop to auto start our scripts and this scripts did not run at all when this issuse happened. And I use gnome tweaks it shows as follows
gnome shell is not running and so it did not bring up our autostart file.
By the way, there is a situation that needs to be additionally explained, to custom the desktop, I installed these package to hide dock and topbar using gnome tweaks
sudo dpkg -i gir1.2-cogl-1.0_1.22.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i gir1.2-coglpango-1.0_1.22.2-3_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i gir1.2-clutter-1.0_1.26.2+dfsg-4_arm64.deb
sudo dpkg -i gnome-tweaks_3.28.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i gnome-shell-extension-autohidetopbar_20171126-2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i gnome-shell-extension-dashtodock_63-1_all.deb
And I noticed that if I use apt-get install there is some different between the packages
it seems gir1.2-cogl and gir1.2-coglpango package version is not as same as my deb version, is this the reason?
our board is not abled to use internet to install these tools so I just download them in Bionic (18.04) : Ubuntu the release version
