Here is a complete error log error.txt (9.4 KB)

I did try the solution mentioned in this post. It did not work for me.

Could you please help me debug this issue?

My Setup:
Jetson Orin Nano 8Gb with Devkit
JetPack 5.1.2
isaac_ros_argus_camera inside of jetpack dev container.
GMSL 2 camera connected to CSI Port 1. ( Works fine with V4L2 driver)

Thank you!

Hi, @bnbhat

I will describe the order of my actions as it helped me

1. Disabled the desktop GUI instruction i used disable desktop on boot;

2. Reboot jetson;

3. And only then executed the command:

   $ xinit &
   

   output above command

4. Check that display :0 initialized:

   $ echo $DISPLAY
   :0
   

5. Restart the docker containers, and make sure that the display :0 is set.

And that solved the problem for me.

Thank you @Nikolay196

the workaround you posted is a great solution, but we are working on a new release that will fix this bug.

Best,
Raffaello

Thank you @Nikolay196 for the detailed instructions. It did solve the issue.

@Raffaello I am trying to get isaac_ros_argus_camer driver working with a camera, which is not listed as
supported/tested in the documentation. Are there any instructions on integrating other camera modules with the driver?

I am using a Sony ISX031C-based camera with a GMSL2 link.

Thank you!

hi @Nokolay196,
I have the same problem when using isaac_ros_h264_decoder package(Hardware: Orin NX).

I did the first 4 steps of your solution( the 4th step is export $DISPLAY =:0 into the .bashrc).
then,I performed the 5th step(with cmd:docker start -i), the error info is still existed.

so, did I have lossed some steps?

[Nikolay196]

Hi, @skyun2012

I did not fully describe the steps and missed the point, if you connect to the board via ssh with the -X flag:

ssh -X user@server

or use, for example, a mobaxtrem client that automatically initializes the x11 server when connected to the board, the display environment variable will look like something like this:

$ echo $DISPLAY
localhost:10.0

And after starting the console, in the docker container in which you want to run isaaac_ros_h264_decoder, set the environment variable display = 0

export DISPLAY=:0

And then the problem will most likely disappear

But as Raffaello said, this problem will be solved in another way, this is a temporary solution.

Mobaxterm happens to be the tool that I’m using.
According to your advice，now it works, Thank you very much!
