However, I am having the same exact problem with the JetPack 3.1 using an Ubuntu 14.04 as host.
The cuda-repo file is copied correctly on the jetson but the installation doesn’t start.
The host and the jeston are connected to the same switch via ethernet. Unfortunately I cannot try to connect the jetson directly to the host.
Looking with htop I see the command to start the installation. See this screenshot https://drive.google.com/file/d/19PoxHcwJ5qzFNpOzJkeeUw8p0N8-OAAG/view?usp=sharing
The problem is that if I try to run the same command from the Terminal it doesn’t work because the tilde (~) is expanded on my machine and not on the jetson. If run it with quotes around the sudo command, it works on the jetson.
I am not sure this is relevant/useful though.
Substitute “/home/nvidia/” for “~” (e.g., “/home/nvidia/cuda-l4t/cuda-l4t.sh”). In other cases quoting will do the job…it depends on circumstances (e.g., “‘~/cuda-l4t/cuda-l4t.sh’”).
I can’t see enough to name where it all starts. As an example, the following is probably an incomplete path since normally there is no “/local”, but is normally “/usr/local”:
Copying /local/scratch/am2266/jetson3.2/jetpack_download/cuda-repo-l4t-9-0-local_9.0.252-1_arm64.deb file to target...
Basically there will be a script somewhere which is using the “~”, but “~” may change depending on how you connect and whether or not sudo is there. Somewhere you will want to replace the “~” with the actual home directory path.
I cannot test because JetPack3.2 pre-release fails for me…all repository information is missing (which means I cannot even do a manual wget download). I’m not sure if it is related to what you are finding or not.
