L4T-README in Desktop does not open

[piter24]

I took a look at the file that the nv_l4t_readme.desktop L4T-README and it calls the .sh file in /etc/xdg/autostar/nv_l4t_readme.sh :

L4T_README_FOLDER="/media/$USER/L4T-README"
L4T_README_DISK="/dev/disk/by-label/L4T-README"

if [ ! -d "${L4T_README_FOLDER}" ] && [ -h "${L4T_README_DISK}" ]; then
	udisksctl mount -b "${L4T_README_DISK}"
fi

if [ -d "${L4T_README_FOLDER}" ]; then
	xdg-open "${L4T_README_FOLDER}"
fi

these paths do not exists.
L4T_README_FOLDER=“/media/$USER/L4T-README”
L4T_README_DISK=“/dev/disk/by-label/L4T-README”
Th .desktop application does not open.

Hi,
If the device cannot be flashed/booted, please refer to the page to get uart log from the device:
Jetson/General debug - eLinux.org
And get logs of host PC and Jetson device for reference. If you are using custom board, you can compare uart log of developer kit and custom board to get more information.
Also please check FAQs:
Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
If possible, we would suggest follow quick start in developer guide to re-flash the system:
Quick Start — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide 1 documentation
And see if the issue still persists on a clean-flashed system.
Thanks!

The board flashes and according to jtop I am running Jetpack 6.1 L4T 36.4.0.

I just bought another brand new orin agx and it has the exact same issue.

I want to have a look at the readme because it has some usefull instructions but I am unable to do that.

these paths do not exists.
L4T_README_FOLDER=“/media/$USER/L4T-README”
L4T_README_DISK=“/dev/disk/by-label/L4T-README”

How are those paths generated?
Is SKD manager doing that?

I was able to find a workaround by Running

sudo mount -o loop /opt/nvidia/l4t-usb-device-mode/filesystem.img /media/$USER/L4T-README

And adding it to fstab to mount on boot but why is this not being mounted by default?

I have had multiple jetson agx orin and never had to do this.

sudo systemctl status nv-l4t-usb-device-mode.service

Doesn’t show any errors

cat Desktop/nv_l4t_readme.desktop
shows that when double-clicked executes

/etc/xdg/autostart/nvl4t-readme.sh

which uses udiskctl to mount
/dev/disk/by-label/L4T-README

Hi,
Please connect AGX Orin developer kit to Ubuntu host PC through type-C to type-A cable. So that the Orin device enters USB device mode and you shall see the README pop up on host PC.
