Jetpack installer only seems to work without CUDA

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson TX2

I am working with an Ubuntu 16.04 host PC (desktop) with 800GB available and a TX2, attempting to flash Jetpack 3.3.

If I take off CUDA and its dependencies, I am able to successfully install everything else and flash it to the TX2.
But… I need CUDA.

If I do everything the same but leave CUDA as “install” rather than “no action,” everything downloads (or at least it says download complete), but it gets stuck in the terminal at the installation with the error
E: Unable to locate package cuda-toolkit-9-0

It seems like it’s saying that there’s no space left on the device but the folder properties say there is over 800GB space free.

I probably can’t get a complete answer, but do know that you can uncheck flash and run JetPack at any later date without flashing. Just use the ethernet cable and don’t go into recovery mode.

No space on device might be for host or Jetson (generally speaking…I’m not saying your logs point at one or the other). However, here are some comments:

dpkg: error processing archive /media/ubuntu/F61A01961A015551/Amy/jetpack_download/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-9-0-local_9.0.252-1_amd64.deb (--install):
cannot copy extracted data for './var/cuda-repo-9-0-local/nvidia-384_384.103-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb' to '/var/cuda-repo-9-0-local/nvidia-384_384.103-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)

The “/media/” location implies you might have a USB thumb drive or SD card mounted there. This is the device which is out of space, not your main hard drive. FYI, even if an SD card or thumb drive works for running a flash it absolutely must not be any format other than a Linux native format, e.g., it can be ext4, but NTFS and VFAT absolute guarantees that the flash will produce a defective system.

What do you see, on the host, from this command:

df -H -T /media/ubuntu

Hi,

It looks like you are running out of storage on your host:

cannot copy extracted data for './var/cuda-repo-9-0-local/nvidia-384_384.103-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb' to '/var/cuda-repo-9-0-local/nvidia-384_384.103-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.dpkg-new': failed to write (No space left on device)

Please make sure you have a least 10G storage to allow JetPack to extract the resource and library,

Thanks.
