It appears that you are trying to reinstall or upgrade your NVIDIA tools on your Jetson AGX Orin device, but you are encountering issues with the package manager.

Firstly, I notice that you are running the command apt update and apt install with the package name nvidia-l4t-apt-source. However, the error message indicates that the package nvidia-l4t-apt-source is not found.

According to the context, the package nvidia-l4t-apt-source is preinstalled in the Jetson Linux root file system, and it identifies the platform it is running on and adds the appropriate repositories to the software source list.

Since you are using a Jetson AGX Orin device, I suspect that the issue might be related to the APT repositories not being properly configured. NVIDIA maintains separate APT repositories for different Jetson devices, including the Jetson AGX Orin.

To resolve the issue, I recommend the following steps:

  1. Check the APT repositories: Run the command apt policy to check the current APT repositories configured on your system. Verify that the repositories for Jetson AGX Orin are listed.
  2. Update the package index: Run the command apt update to update the package index. This will ensure that the package manager has the latest information about available packages.
  3. Install the correct package: Instead of trying to install nvidia-l4t-apt-source, try installing the package nvidia-l4t-apt-source-jetson-agx-orin. This package is specifically designed for the Jetson AGX Orin device.
  4. Check for updates: Run the command apt upgrade to check for any updates to the NVIDIA tools.

If you continue to encounter issues, you may want to try resetting the APT repositories to their default configuration. You can do this by running the command sudo apt install --reinstall nvidia-l4t-apt-source.

In comparison to other Jetson devices, the APT repositories for Jetson AGX Orin are specific to that device. Therefore, it’s essential to ensure that the correct repositories are configured and the correct packages are installed.

I hope this helps resolve the issue you are facing. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.

I think my main issue is getting the repositories reset and re-linking them … I’ll keep trying

Lots of warning and errors – think I need to ditch the ZA archived and find a more reliable repository …

They really do not make this easy …

Hi,
We don’t have nvidia-open package on Jetson platforms. The packages are listed in

Software Packages and the Update Mechanism — NVIDIA Jetson Linux Developer Guide

TO install al packages, you can install SDK Components through SDKManager.

Thanks - I will try again - thank you.
