Jetpack 4.4 requires sudo for EVERYTHING?

I recently upgraded to jetpack 4.4. on my xavier board.

And now gst-inspect-1.0 just hangs when I try to use it. But it will work if I use sudo.
For example this just hangs
gst-inspect-1.0 autovideosrc

but this will work
sudo gst-inspect-1.0 autovideosrc

Other applications which I used to be able to run on jetpack 4.2 now require a sudo permission to run as well.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Hi,
We don’t observe the issue. Not sure if it helps but you can clean the cache and try again.

$ rm .cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.aarch64.bin

One tip you might find useful for video and CUDA is that this uses the GPU. Any user can be added to group “video”. If the sudo is because your user is not a member of video, then adding your user to that group should enable everything “video” without using sudo.

If your user name is “nvidia”, then see if “nvidia” is listed in:
grep 'video' /etc/group

If your user is not a member, then (assuming name is “nvidia”) this will append the user to “video”:
sudo usermod -a -G video nvidia
