OpenCV is not working with the image nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-jetpack:r35.4.1

Hello everyone I am working with a Original Jetson nano. I want to use ros-foxy and openCV. However I was using the docker container with ros-foxy-base but after reboot the system I got the next error

cv2.imshow(window_name, image)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.5.4) /home/ubuntu/build_opencv/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window_gtk.cpp:635: error: (-2:Unspecified error) Can't initialize GTK backend in function 'cvInitSystem'

I was using this container Jetson-container but The same problem happened. This is my run file

Does anyone know how to fix this problem or has it happened to someone before ?

Hi,

Have you exported the DISPLAY variable?

$ export DISPLAY=:0

Thanks.

Hi @AastaLLL Yes I did. But I still have the error

    cv2.imshow(window_name, image)
cv2.error: OpenCV(4.5.4) /home/ubuntu/build_opencv/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window_gtk.cpp:635: error: (-2:Unspecified error) Can't initialize GTK backend in function 'cvInitSystem'

So when I run the container the first time, everything runs ok. But, after reboot the system the problem appears. Do you know what can I do ?

Would it be possible that something in your container updates python installed opencv version (with pip or else) ?
You may try adding the following lines at the beginning of your python script:

import cv2
print(cv2.getBuildInformation())

and see if the output is different from first run as compared to next runs.

Hi @Honey_Patouceul this is the result of the print

Hi,

Could you follow the instructions below to see if it works?

Thanks.

Before spending much time digging into this further, please see the history of this issue on GitHub:

I believe it’s related to the same container instance being used after restart (there is no --rm used when container is started), and the /tmp files used for X11 changing. Since you can’t add mounts/volumes to container after it’s started, workaround is to start new container after reboot.
