Minimal scenario:

  1. Jetson Xavier NX flashed with Jetpack 5.0.1 DP
  2. Pull and run nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-base:r34.1.1
  3. apt update && apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4

Results in following error:

Update.

cuda-toolkit-11-4 installs successfully on host system, this problem only manifests in l4t container, even with all the same repositories, i.e.

docker run -it --rm --gpus all -v /etc/apt/sources.list:/etc/apt/sources.list -v /etc/apt/sources.list.d/:/etc/apt/sources.list.d/ nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-base:r34.1.1
apt update && apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4

Hi,

This is a known issue and our internal team is working on this actively.
Will share more information with you later.

Currently, you can use the container in the below comment which has CUDA installed already.

Thanks.

Can confirm the installation is now successful when starting with nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-base:r34.1.1 image, as described in the OP.

Unfortunately same problem persists when starting from nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.1-samples image. Any advice?

Thank you.

Hi, abramov_ov

For nvcr.io/nvidia/deepstream-l4t:6.1-samples, it works after manually installing cuBLAS first.

$ apt update
$ apt install libcublas-11-4
$ apt install cuda-toolkit-11-4

Please try if this also works on your side.
Thanks.
