I am trying to run kivy app in jetson nano, I have installed all the required libraries as per the documentation.

When I run the app I get this error

[CRITICAL] [Window ] Unable to find any valuable Window provider. Please enable debug logging (e.g. add -d if running from the command line, or change the log level in the config) and re-run your app to identify potential causes

I am not able to figure out the issue here. I have installed required sdl lib. Please help.

hello devashish668.

We have similar names lol.

Following this URL, I can execute 'hello world".

Maybe your kivy’s version is old.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kivy-team/kivy
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-kivy
sudo apt-get install kivy-examples

Maybe you will get an error, so add this to the end of this script.

sudo gedit ~/.bashrc

export KIVY_GL_BACKEND=gl
export DBUS_FATAL_WARNINGS=0

Re-open your terminal. And Execute your python script.

This is ‘hello world’ script.

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
 
class IntroKivy(App):
    def build(self):
        return Label(text="Hello, World!")
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
    IntroKivy().run()

thanks.

We indeed do. Thanks for the reply,

Actually, I have kivy as near the latest at 1.11.0. It didn’t work with python 3.6, for python 3.5 I was able to make it work (with a few tweaks).

As of now, it’s not decoding the video using GPU, I get “No accelerated colorspace conversion found from yuv420p to rgba.”,
I am gonna recompile FFmpeg from source and try to play with other codecs. As far as I know, x264 doesn’t support HW acceleration.

I hope I will be able to make it work, as the whole purpose of getting into jetson, was utilizing MAXWELL and GPU render options.

If required, I can share the steps I used to fix it for python3.5, please let me know if there is any solution to the pickle I am in

Thanks
