SDKmanager v1.3.0 won't launch

Hi,

I want to use the whole jetpack software to flash an image stored on a host ubuntu pc onto a Jetson Xavier.
I downloaded sdkmanager_1.3.0-7105_amd64.deb from the official website then ran the command
sudo apt install ./sdkmanager_1.3.0-7105_amd64.deb
as instructed. The installation of the sdkmanager seems to go through, however, if I then use the command
sdkmanager
nothing happens. The terminal waits for approximately 5 seconds then returns a blank line and nothing shows up.
I tried using sdkmanager --enable-logging -v=1but instead of returning a proper error log I get :
Error: unknown argument '--enable-logging' Error: unknown argument '--v'
As a result I can’t go through with installing the whole jetpack software.

Also it might help anyone coming across this that I tried installing the sdkmanager v0.9.12 linked with JetPack4.3, the sdkmanager command does open the GUI but after inputting my credentials and password, I get No SDK available for your account and it won’t change no matter how many times i restart the sdkmanager (as suggested here No SDK available for your account )

My system:
Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS
Nvidia Driver Version: 440.95.01
CUDA Version: 10.2
Attempting to install JetPack4.4

Hi t.velon,

Can you please try following steps?

  1. Install SDK Manager 1.3,
  2. Run sdkmanager command in a terminal window.
  3. Package then attach ~/.nvsdkm directory for more investigation?

Hi,
The correct command line should be:

sdkmanager --spectron --enable-logging -v=1

Hi,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
This command line does indeed output some log, but I’m having trouble figuring what is wrong in there.

Hi,
Thanks for replying on such short notice.
Here is the nvsdkm folder zipped.

HI again,
I found a solution to my problem thanks to your advice.
Turns out I had made one installation of the SDKmanager 1.2 that wasn’t setup properly but when I removed it, the .nvsdkm folder remained there. Due to that, every other version of the software that I was trying to install would see this folder and that would lead to a silent error.
I just had to delete my old .nvsdkm folder located in root
Thanks for leading me on the right track.
