please can you advice what’s missing?

Thank you.

This says there is a network setup issue:

Temporary failure resolving 'ports.ubuntu.com'

Basically you do not have DNS enabled (at minimum a named address needs to be converted to a dotted-decimal format, and this is not happening…this would also be true if networking is completely down).

A way to demonstrate this is that the IPv4 address of “ports.ubuntu.com” is “91.189.88.150”. If this works, then you have networking:

ping 91.189.88.150

…if that worked and this failed, then you don’t have DNS configured:

host ports.ubuntu.com

Note that in the relevant “/etc/hosts” file you could temporarily add this (I wouldn’t advise getting around DNS setup issues this way) for DNS of that one address:

91.189.88.150    ports.ubuntu.com

Ok, the network is unreachable.

sudo lshw -C network

returns network:0, network:1, network:2 all DISABLED.

A quick search online gave me this command

nmcli nm wifi on

to enable wifi but the problem here is that nmcli command is not found.

I tried to append hosts in /etc with this:

sudo echo "91.189.88.150 ports.ubuntu.com" >> hosts

Returns with hosts:Permission denied

It’s frustrating because bash does not recognize vim, nano or any texteditor for that matter. I appreciate your help. Any last suggestions?

It sounds like a large part of the install is missing (parts which are provided by the sample rootfs). Was this board flashed, and if so, by which tools?

Strange, I have not flashed this board.

Was this board reachable via network from any location you don’t control? Sometimes people make their Jetsons visible to the outside world without changing passwords…hacking is very fast.

You could clone the rootfs (“APP” partition) and mount it on loopback to see what’s there (the act of would cloning itself verify if eMMC is readable). See:
