Hi. My jetson nano shows the NVIDIA logo at the boot screen and a few lines of logs and then the screen goes black. SSH is however working and everything else I believe is also working. I am using hdmi TV as the monitor and I do not have any other choice.

Not sure if you hit the same issue. Please check if apt update/upgrade triggers your issue. > [@Jetson Nano blank screen during and after boot](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/jetson-nano-blank-screen-during-and-after-boot/160356/66): > > Can someone check if holding systemd in old version can prevent this issue? sudo apt update sudo apt-mark hold systemd sudo apt upgrade ---

I did all this. However, I’m still booting to a blacked screen after the initial NVIDIA screen, then a few lines; the last one seems to say login or logon. I can SSH. ---

Hi there. I followed your instructions and now I have a GUI. However, the font size is extremely small and it makes GUI useless since I can’t read anything… ---

If you don’t mind, maybe you can directly upgrade to rel-32.5 which has this fix too. If you still hit font issue on rel-32.5, file a new topic. Thanks. ---

The post you shared is saying the menu and font size are small. But our topic here is talking about black screen. Which one is your problem now? ---
