Startup service nv_target_docker never exits

DRIVE OS Version: Provide DRIVE OS version: 7.0.3

Issue Description:

This is pretty obscure but if we install the clang-17 package on our drive units the nv_target_docker startup service never exits and puts a considerable load on the unit.

It doesn’t appear to make it out of the glob.glob(path, recursive=True) call so maybe it’s symbolic link related.

Dear @rich.frederiksen ,
Could you please share the repro steps?

I believe you can reproduce it if you take a base drive 7.0.3 install and:

  • apt install clang-17
  • reboot
  • run top as su (to see all processes) and you should see the nv_target_docker process running at 100% (usually it runs and exits in less than 1 sec during boot)

I notice issues when try to install on Thor with DOS 7.0.3. Did you just run apt install clang-17 just after flashing DOS 7.0.3 or performed any other steps?

Sorry, I left out a step that might be what’s causing your upstream issue. I did run the unminimize script on the system.

I tried sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y unminimize && sudo unminimize and still notice same issue. We have not tested installing clang on DRIVE. Did you check to build from source?

No I just did a straight install. Although I do think at some point I had trouble running the unminimize script (bad authentication) so I added an --allow-unauthenticated argument to the dpkg commands like below:

    # Reinstallation takes place in two steps because a single dpkg --verified
    # command generates very long parameter list for "xargs dpkg -S" and may go
    # over ARG_MAX. Since many packages have man pages the second download
    # handles a much smaller amount of packages.
    dpkg -S /usr/share/man/ |sed 's|, |\n|g;s|: [^:]*$||' | DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive xargs apt-get install --reinstall -y --allow-unauthenticated
    echo "Reinstalling packages with system documentation in /usr/share/doc/ .."
    # This step processes the packages which still have missing documentation
    dpkg --verify --verify-format rpm | awk '$2 ~ /\/usr\/share\/doc/ {print $2}' | sed 's|/[^/]*$||' | sort | uniq \
         | xargs dpkg -S | sed 's|, |\n|g;s|: [^:]*$||' | uniq | DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive xargs apt-get install --reinstall -y --allow-unauthenticated
    echo "Restoring system translations..."
    # This step processes the packages which still have missing translations
    dpkg --verify --verify-format rpm | awk '$2 ~ /\/usr\/share\/locale/ {print $2}' | sed 's|/[^/]*$||' | sort | uniq \
         | xargs dpkg -S | sed 's|, |\n|g;s|: [^:]*$||' | uniq | DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive xargs apt-get install --reinstall -y --allow-unauthenticated

I’m including the list of packages I’ve got installed when the problem happens installed-packages-broken.txt and when it’s fixed installed-packages-ok.txt. To go from OK → broken I do sudo apt install clang-17 and to go from broken → OK I do sudo apt purge clang-17 && sudo apt autoremove to remove everything installed with clang-17.

Could you please provide any update for this topic? Did you try installation from source?
