SDK Manager GUI --disable-gpu seems to be an unknown argument

Hi,

The SDK Manager goes blank after I login.

I did a little bit of googling and I found that disabling the usage of the GPU for Electron application is the solution.

But I get an error:

$ sdkmanager --disable-gpu

Error: unknown argument ‘–disable-gpu’

I saw this post from NVIDIA: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1052707/general/drive-development-platform-xavier-pegasus-sdk-manager-gui-doesn-t-show-up-in-host-linux-pc/post/5347633/#5347633

Where you have an example with --disable-gpu.

So I am confused on why it is not working for me.

So is there any other way of disabling the GPU usage for SDK Manager?

Here are some details of my OS:

Distributor ID: Debian
Description: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid
Release: testing/unstable
Codename: n/a

I could always change the Linux distro if that helps.

Thanks in advance for your time and help on this issue.

Hi,

Thank you for responding so fast.

I just tried it on Ubuntu 18.04:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic

I am having the same issue.

Again, is there a way to disable gpu for the SDK Manager?

I saw it in one of your posts on this forum.

But it says:

Error: unknown argument ‘–disable-gpu’

Is there a config file or some other way I could disable the gpu?

Thanks

Could you try if running with “sdkmanager --spectron --disable-gpu” helps on this issue?

When reproduce the issue, could you also provide the result of ‘ps aux|grep sdkmanager’? Thanks!
