Have had my Jetson for awhile and have not been able to really use it because it randomly wants to jump back to the linux login screen randomly. Some times it would be fine for a few to several minutes and other times it does it near constantly every minute or so to the point it’s unusable.
I am using the psu it came with. It was happening on 19.2 software it came with and I recently updated it from linux laptop to the new 19.3 release thinking that might solve the issue but it hasn’t helped at all. Did I receive a defective unit or is there anything else I can try? Thanks.
This is reported by people who are using Keyboard/Mouse which consume/draw more power from USB port, and due to heavy load than the USB port can support, the system behaves so.
Please provide kernel logs when this issue happens.
By having higher log levels enabled on your system using below commands
sudo su
echo 7 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
start doing your things like firefox or whatever
when the issue is hit, pls post us the below logs files
a) /var/log/dmesg,
b) /var/log/syslog,
c) /var/log/kern.log,
d) /var/log/Xorg.0.log,
e) log file generated by running nvidia-bug-report-tegra.sh command as root user
Also, provide the o/p generated by
cat /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
the above will give the details about which device is drawing more current than supplied by USB port
