Hello,

My Xavier development kit was working fine up until i tried to install Open VSLAM using docker by following below URL.

Running on Docker — OpenVSLAM documentation (openvslam-community.readthedocs.io)

I am having NVIDIA Docker 2.0.3 with Ubuntu 18.04

I started getting low disk space issue and installation stopped in the middle. I tried several times but it did not work may be due to low space or no space. I then restarted Xavier and since then my Xavier is not booting.

Every time i get below error message and then my monitor goes blank and nothing happens.

Hello mehmetdeniz,

Thank you for your quick reply.
It is actually Jetson AGX Xavier.

Since i am new to development using Jetson, so i do not have any experience of connecting via debug USB.

Could you please provide some more details or supporting url to try.

Thanks and Regards,

Yes you can solve this issue. Your disk is full. So that, you can uninstall some packages. If you have unimportant applications or libraries, you can delete some of them.

For example, if you don’t use thunderbird you can remove it like that:
sudo apt-get remove thunderbird*

Then if your filesystem have some space (Available space of mounted on /) you can reboot or switch to desktop mode.

Thanks for your prompt support.

It sounds like building this Docker container is what took up all your disk space, so you may just want to delete that container. You can check which Docker images you have installed with sudo docker images and remove them with sudo docker rmi <image-name>

You can remove dangling images like this:

sudo docker rmi -f $(sudo docker images | grep "<none>" | awk "{print \$3}")
sudo docker image prune -a

If you are unable to run the docker commands due to low disk space, then you can manually delete your docker root data dir. By default this is /var/lib/docker

In the future, you may want to add NVME drive to your Xavier devkit for additional disk space. You can then change the docker default root dir to the NVME drive so that the containers are all stored on NVME instead of eMMC.
