hi all, I am running deepstream-app from local host and getting these errors:

I’m seeing exactly the same issue now on one system that updated a number of Nvidia libraries from the repo in the last day or so. On my other systems that have not been updated yet are not seeing this issue.

All systems running the same code, same version of CUDA, same version of TensorRT, same version of gstreamer, etc.

The only thing that was changed was that an update was run.

I haven’t found a solution yet. We might need a fix from Nvidia.

Setup pre-requisites:

  • Ubuntu 18.04
  • Gstreamer 1.14.1
  • NVIDIA driver 418+
  • CUDA 10.1
  • TensorRT 5.1+

Hi ChrisDing,

I decided to revisit this issue on the system experiencing the problem. I was hoping that there may have been an update from Nvidia that solved the issue. Unfortunately I’m still seeing the issue after updating all packages.

And to be clear, my system is Ubuntu 18.04.

Did you remove $HOME/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin
What’s your platform?

Hi cbstryker,

Is this still an issue at your side?
Have you removed $HOME/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry.x86_64.bin?

Thanks
