Hi, I have a newly aquired AGX Orin Developer kit. I always get failure to authenitcate when trying to install an application, although my password is correct. I tried installing Anydesk or similar. Is this very expensive think only for nvidia apps? Is it not possble to down load other apploications, other than Nvidias?
For reference, L4T is just what Ubuntu is called when it gets NVIDIA drivers. It is still Ubuntu, but it has a more custom boot chain. You can find your L4T release with “head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release”. JetPack/SDK Manager is host PC side software used as a front end when flashing a Jetson (to put L4T on the Jetson).
The Orin dev kit is just Ubuntu with NVIDIA drivers. Some of those drivers are specifically only for the dev kit, e.g., some of the boot chain and firmware, but this is mostly just Ubuntu. Keep in mind that failure to authenticate (I know nothing about what you are trying to authenticate) can be either authentication at the remote site or it can be the local user’s password to use with sudo. Even using sudo at the wrong time can cause a failure to authenticate. Who or what was it that is failing to authenticate?
Incidentally, almost everything (aside from kernel install and boot chain modification) published for Ubuntu works with Ubuntu. If your Orin runs L4T R35.x, then it would be Ubuntu 20.04. If your Orin runs L4T R36.x, then it is Ubuntu 22.04. Use the specific Ubuntu docs for your release for most answers.
The more common install of software on Ubuntu is with the apt mechanism. What install method are you using? An example of how to update to the most recent packages of the currently installed release (without changing the release) is:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-get upgrade
(the update marks package versions at this moment in time; upgrade upgrades any existing packages if bug or minor releases are out)
You could search for applications with words in their name or description with “apt search <some name>”. For example, to search for things with “math” in their description or name:
apt search math
Getting back to your question, if the site is something that is not public, e.g., if you search for something when a password is required, then you need their password. If something is found, and you want to install it, you would then need your login password on the Jetson itself.
Yeah well I cant get anything that I am used to on Linux Ubunto RPi to work on Nvidia. Anydesk for my remote developer. No Application I try works to install or otherwise. And if my developer cant get access then There is no point of it. I dont know Why it so Strictly controlled.
The various virtual desktop applications might depend on the particular video driver, or they might depend on a module built against a kernel which is different than what you have. Some remote desktop apps are known to be an issue, but the problem now is that this particular thread topic won’t get noticed by the people who work on virtual desktops.
Note that most computers (and the software which detects hardware) expect a discrete GPU (dGPU) which is using the PCI bus; the Jetson GPUs are integrated (iGPU) directly to the memory controller. In the latter case any software trying to detect the GPU might need something different when it encounters an iGPU.
I highly suggest you start a new thread, but specifically put “Anydesk” and “virtual desktop” in the help topic. In the main body of the forum thread I then suggest mentioning the exact hardware, e.g., “a developer kit AGX Xavier and not a custom carrier board”, along with the L4T release version (which you can get from “head -n 1 /etc/nv_tegra_release”). You might find a response that way since it is specific to virtual desktop software.
