Hello, I have a jetson NX with pre-installed JetPack, it’s a remote system and I’m not currently able to update it via jetpack installer.

The system is missing Deepstream, so I downloaded the 5.0.1 package (both tar and deb)
and tried to make it work.
Install works perfectly, and my app that uses deepstream compiles without issues.

However, when I’m trying to run anything (app or the DS samples) - the pipeline creation fails because of missing deepstream plugins.

I verified with gst-inspect, and all deepstream libs seem to be blacklisted:

nvidia@nvidia-desktop:~$ gst-inspect-1.0 -b
Blacklisted files:
libnvdsgst_multistream.so
libnvdsgst_tracker.so
libnvdsgst_infer.so
libnvdsgst_dsexample.so
libnvdsgst_multistreamtiler.so
libgstnvvideoconvert.so
libnvdsgst_dewarper.so
libnvdsgst_osd.so
libnvdsgst_inferserver.so

Total count: 9 blacklisted files

…

Running gst-inspect with debug level 5 gives this for deepstram plugins:
GST_PLUGIN_LOADING gstpluginloader.c:277:plugin_loader_replay_pending: Plugin file /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/deepstream/libgstnvvideoconvert.so failed to load. Blacklisting

gstreamer version is 1.14.5-0

Next week I’ll be able to re-install everything from Jetpack, but I’m just wondering if there is anything I can do to fix this?

Do you install the package according to the instruction in Quickstart Guide — DeepStream 6.1.1 Release documentation?

4

yes, I followed those instructions (tried both method 2 and method 3)
jetpack version is 4.5

5

Can you run “ls -l /etc/alternatives” and “ls -l /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0” to check whether the soft links are created correctly. And then check with “ls -l /op/nvidia/deepstream”?

Yes, links do seem to be there. Gstreamer is able to locate nvidia plugins, also it loads the ones that are not part of the deepstream package just fine.
(like nvv4l2decoder)

Also, we just tried installing deepstream 5.0 from jetpack -

The links are fine. There should not be any error.
Clean the cache with following commands:

rm -rf /home/*/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/
rm -rf /root/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/

And then run “gst-inspect-1.0” to check.

Ok will try that, thank you.
