Jetson Orin Display Issue After Reboot

Autonomous Machines Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson AGX Xavier
1

Hello,

I am currently using the Jetson Orin with JetPack version 35.1.0. Prior to a recent reboot, I was able to use the system normally and could shut down or boot up without any issues. However, after the latest reboot, I only see the “boot options” screen, following which my display reports no video signal. Interestingly, the keyboard’s caps lock key seems to be responsive and I am able to SSH into Orin from another host machine.

If there are other logs or additional information that would be helpful in diagnosing this issue, please let me know and I will provide them as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

is the display driver loaded correctly?
Check lsmod | grep nvidia.
Also enable the verbose Xorg log as shown here:

4

Now, I can access the display normally. However, the directory /home/nvidia appears to be completely new and does not contain any of the files I had previously saved. In my attempt to restore access to the interface, I’ve taken the following steps, denoted as :

sudo mount /dev/mmcblkop1 /mnt
cd /mnt/etc
sudo rm setssdroot

This issue may have arisen from my previous attempts at creating multiple users on Orin. The command I used to do so was :

sudo adduser test
sudo usermod -aG sudo test
su test

Jetson orin suddenly gets stuck after " su test " enter

Hi,

Sounds like you boot into the eMMC instead of the NVMe drive originally used.

if you want the system to boot from NVMe drives, we do officially support flashing directly into them.
Please check Workflow 3 in Linux_for_Tegra/tools/kernel_flash/README_initrd_flash.txt.

6

To add a bit more information, when I SSH back into Orin, I used the command sudo deluser test to remove the user I had previously created. After I was able to restore the interface and log back in, I noticed two directories under /dev/nvme0n1p1/home , namely nvidia and test .

7

It’s expected as deleting a user account does not also delete the home folder.

8

It seems there might be some misunderstanding. I want to clarify that I have been using the NVMe drive for booting up consistently in the past. The reason I resorted to booting from eMMC now is that I could not access the desktop interface normally via NVMe.

9

so maybe I delete the test floder?

10

I’m if you boot into the eMMC, then it’s totally expected that the contents of the home folder in the eMMC differ from the one in the NVMe drive. Or you did not mean that?

Just to make sure, is it still an issue to support?

11

Why can’t you if you don’t need it anymore?

12

I deleted the test user’s home directory, then tried to reboot using NVMe. Unfortunately, I still cannot access the desktop interface normally. Any further assistance would be greatly appreciated.

13

Then can you just re-flash the NVMe drive?

14

I also don’t see the response here.

15

While I appreciate your suggestion to reflash the system, I currently have many development tasks running on Orin. Therefore, I would prefer to try and return to the state of normal use before considering a system reflash.

When I run the command lsmod | grep nvidia, there is no output.

16

So apparently the display driver is gone.

Are you using the default BSP, or you made some customization to the kernel?
Are nvidia.ko, nvidia-drm.ko, nvidia-modeset.ko present under /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/extra/opensrc-disp/? What if you manually modprobe them?

17 
cd /usr/lib/modules/5.10.104-tegra/extra/opensrc-disp/
nvidia@orin:/usr/lib/modules/5.10.104-tegra/extra/opensrc-disp$ ls
nvidia-drm.ko  nvidia.ko  nvidia-modeset.ko

sudo modprobe nvidia
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
sudo modprobe nvidia.ko
modprobe: FATAL: Module nvidia.ko not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.104-tegra
sudo modprobe nvidia-drm
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_drm': No such device
sudo modprobe nvidia-modeset 
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia_modeset': No such device
18

How about this?
Can you also try running sudo depmod -a and loading the modules again?
If that still does not work, then the only thing I can suggest is really a re-flash.

19

╥_╥
Alright, I’ve decided to reflash the system. Thank you for the suggestion.
