I am facing some of the issues here that needs help. It can be a single problem that is related to all but here are the lists. Obviously, I do get the pings from the ethernet, so It doesn’t seem to an internet problem but the network setup and others etc.

  1. installation of internet browser
    some how ‘sudo apt-get install’ doesn’t work, so sudo apt-get install firefox doesn’t work. ‘Package ‘firefox’ has no installation candidate’ is the log i see.

  2. sudo apt-get update is not fully functioning.
    sudo apt-get update should have many more lines of logs but what you can see on the picture is all I get.

  3. all the other ‘sudo apt-get install’ command doesn’t work.

  4. This is what I have on the Wireless and Network setup interface

We also found this problem after updating to OS10.

Apparently in OS10 the network settings are in

/etc/systemd/network/

, in there you can see a file for each interface in there you put your desired ip address.

then restart the service with

sudo systemctl restart systemd-networkd.service

after that we are having ethernet port B connects to our Tegra A and port A connects to Tegra B, not sure why that is but it works for us.

Hi hwlim3unws, I had a similar issue on my Drive AGX Xavier.

If you can ping out to the internet then I think this is just an apt issue. My Settings GUI looked the same as yours, but I could still connect to the internet.

Could you post the output of this command, run on Xavier A?

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list

There may be no output – in my case that file was empty. Below are the intended contents of that file:

If you update /etc/apt/sources.list so it contains the text above, “sudo apt update” should work (as long as you have an internet connection). And you won’t need to run apt-add-repository, since the sources.list already contains the repositories you were trying to add.

I posted about my issue with /etc/apt/sources.list here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1072499/general/empty-etc-apt-sources-list-on-clean-drive-os-5-1-6-1-image/?offset=10#5434084

Note, if you want to use “apt-add-repository” anyway, you’ll need to install it:

$ sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Hope that helps!
