Hi,

Welcome to the NVIDIA Developer forums. Your issue should be posted in the Jetson Nano category. I will move it over for you.

Best,

Hi,

Could you help dump the log?

Remove this sd card out from jetson nano and plug into your host machine to check /var/log/oem-config.log.

Please attach that log when error happened. Thanks.

Hi !
I can’t find what you say ! Here is what i see when I plug my SD-CARD in my computer.
And if I click on one of them, it says “please format your drive disk” …

So, what can I do ?

WayneWWW · March 23, 2022, 8:32am

Hi,

Sorry that do you have any ubuntu/linux machine to dump the log? Since the disk is ext4, Windows may not able to read it.

ViinceL · March 23, 2022, 9:25am

oem-config.log (3.5 KB)
Here it is !

WayneWWW · March 23, 2022, 9:30am

Thanks for your kind share. Let us check.

Hi,

For current use, please try to use jp4.6 image first. We will fix the jp4.6.1 bug.

Okay thanks, now we can continue, but after setting up the SWAP allocation, we click on “next” and this screen appears :

If it can help you, the green led of the Jetson is not blinking …

If we restart, we have to do the configuration again. It looks like a dead loop.

WayneWWW · March 23, 2022, 1:46pm

Hi,

Do you mean the configuration of user account will be a loop?

ViinceL · March 23, 2022, 1:48pm

When I follow the install setup like on this https://automaticaddison.com/how-to-set-up-the-nvidia-jetson-nano-developer-kit/ , i have the ubuntu screen after clicking on NEXT after choosing “SWAP SIZE”.

WayneWWW · March 23, 2022, 1:49pm

Hi,

If you don’t configure swap size, will it pass?

ViinceL · March 23, 2022, 2:06pm

It works ! The swap is the problem, if we click on “NO”, it works.

WayneWWW · March 24, 2022, 8:22am

Hi @ViinceL ,

Could you check if your syslog (/var/log/syslog) on jetson keeps any record when you firstly boot up in jp4.6?

ViinceL · March 25, 2022, 3:42pm

syslog (164.7 KB)
Here it is !

WayneWWW · March 25, 2022, 4:09pm

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for kind share. But I mean the log when your first try over jp4.6, not the log boot up today. Do you keep that log?
