I have made a lot of changes to my DRIVE PX 2 system which are beyond tracking. As a result of the said changes, I am lately getting problems when I start up the system and get the login screen. Whether I login as nvidia or ubuntu or even as Guest, after inserting the credentials in the password field, the screen goes blank for a while and gets back to the login window over and over. I do need to restore my system to its factory settings. Is there a way to do that?
Hello RiyadhKenaya,
Could you please check your using PDK version?
AFAIK, Alpha version has similar issue.
If you has still same issue with Beta 1.0 PDK, could you please file a bug on partners.nvidia.com? Thanks.

Sorry about the delay. I cannot find the exact file but the issue was my TegraB was not finding libEGL (You need to create a sym link from some nvidia folder in /usr)
Dear Nvidia,
I have hit the similar problem with my Drive PX 2 which is connected via Tegra A. However, my problem is slightly different. Let me explain my problem step-by-step.
Login to drive px 2 with uname/password
After successful login, i see a black screen. Previously I used to see a logo (Drive PX 2) which is missing now.
I open a terminal by pressing CTL+ALT+T
It opens up a terminal
When a drag the terminal from one location to another location within the same screen, it shows me multiple terminals (I guess, it is not cleaning up the previous trailer). And all those terminals started blinking.
At this moment, I cannot do not anything except rebooting the Drive PX 2
There is something messed up. Please help me, How can i revert back to original factory settings?
I tried running the below command to re-install the desktop, but I got the error (gstreamer1.0-alsa but it is not going to be installed. You can see the detailed error below).

May I know your DPX2 SDK version?
If DPX2 SDK version old(Beta 2.0, Alpha 2.0,…), could you please update DPX2 SDK to Beta 3.0(NVIDIA DRIVE 4.1.8.0)?
We had released DPX2 SDK to Beta 3.0(NVIDIA DRIVE 4.1.8.0) on https://developer.nvidia.com/nvidia-drive-downloads. Thanks.
I have downloaded DriveInstall_4.1.8.0L_SDK_b43.run
chmod +x DriveInstall_4.1.8.0L_SDK_b43.run
I started installation
nvidia@tegra-ubuntu:~/Samuel$ ./DriveInstall_4.1.8.0L_SDK_b43.run
Creating directory _installer
Verifying archive integrity… All good.
Uncompressing DriveInstall 100%
A xmessage window popped up showing the below error
Error: DriveInstall must be run on X86_64 HOST platform. Detected aarch64 platform.
I have verified that I am on aarch64 (not on X86_64)

I went through the nvidia forum to find an answer for resolving this issue. There were some people facing the same problem. However, I am unable to find convincing and proper steps to resolve this issue. This is because, most of the discussion were focusing on JetPack not DriveInstall 4.1.8.0L
Would you please throw some light on this? (Like what are the steps i need to perform to flash the image and so on)
Now installing sample_fs_xenial_desktop_arm64.tbz2 to ./vibrante-t186ref-linux/targetfs

Then I entered my sudo password and hit return. But after this, I am not seeing any progress either on the terminal nor on the directory that I specified where files to be built.
The directory shows me the following files. There were no changes made either on the time-stamp or size of the files. I am not sure, this got stuck or working in the background?

How do I know either the Driveinstall 4.1.8.0 component manager got stuck or it is still working in the background (like unpacking sample_fs_xenial_desktop_arm64.tbz2 still in progress)?
All issues are resolved. Let me summarize the issues I found during install and how I solved them.
During install, you will be prompted to enter the password. I guess, the password is associated with some timeout value. After the timeout, if you enter the password, the system does not throw any informative log to the screen. The user does not know whether the password is accepted or rejected. In this case, you need to start the install again.
(BTW - I started install and went out for lunch, then I came back I entered the password and waited for around 2 hours thinking the system took my password with an assumption that system is processing the install in the background)
Never use Virtual machine for flashing the image. It is mandatory to use physical host machine
Drive PX 2 is not compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 version of the host machine. We need to use 14.04 version of the physical host machine for install and flash. (not sure why nvidia doc pages show they support 16.04 host machine which is contradicting to me)
