Hi all, I need some help with debugging Gstreamer blacklisting Deepstream plugins in my docker container. The build is fine, but for some reason gstreamer is not registering the deepstream plugin, looking at logs output there is no real indication of why it fails to load the library too. The OS is built on L4T 32.6.1, and I’m using a barebone TX2NX base image provided by Balena. The top layers of the image are shown below. We are using cuda 10.2, tensorrt 8.0.1 and deepstream 6.0.0. ```auto # base image common to both build and run images FROM balenalib/jetson-tx2-ubuntu:bionic-20220622 as base # Don't prompt with any configuration questions ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 # Update apt sources for 32.6 RUN echo "deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/common r32.6 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia.list && \ echo "deb https://repo.download.nvidia.com/jetson/t186 r32.6 main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia.list # Download and install BSP binaries for L4T 32.6.1 RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y wget tar lbzip2 python3 libegl1 binutils && \ wget https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/l4t/r32_release_v6.1/t186/jetson_linux_r32.6.1_aarch64.tbz2 && \ tar xf jetson_linux_r32.6.1_aarch64.tbz2 && \ cd Linux_for_Tegra && \ sed -i 's/config.tbz2\"/config.tbz2\" --exclude=etc\/hosts --exclude=etc\/hostname/g' apply_binaries.sh && \ sed -i 's/install --owner=root --group=root \"${QEMU_BIN}\" \"${L4T_ROOTFS_DIR}\/usr\/bin\/\"/#install --owner=root --group=root \"${QEMU_BIN}\" \"${L4T_ROOTFS_DIR}\/usr\/bin\/\"/g' nv_tegra/nv-apply-debs.sh && \ sed -i 's/LC_ALL=C chroot . mount -t proc none \/proc/ /g' nv_tegra/nv-apply-debs.sh && \ sed -i 's/umount ${L4T_ROOTFS_DIR}\/proc/ /g' nv_tegra/nv-apply-debs.sh && \ sed -i 's/chroot . \// /g' nv_tegra/nv-apply-debs.sh && \ ./apply_binaries.sh -r / --target-overlay && \ rm -rf /jetson_linux_r32.6.1_aarch64.tbz2 && \ rm -rf /Linux_for_Tegra && \ echo "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-tegra.conf && ldconfig # Install required NVIDIA packages RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --yes \ cuda-cudart-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ cuda-nvprof-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ cuda-driver-dev-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ cuda-cudart-dev-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ cuda-nvcc-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ cuda-nvrtc-10-2=10.2.300-1 \ libcublas10=10.2.3.300-1 \ libcudnn8=8.2.1.32-1+cuda10.2 \ libcurand-10-2=10.1.2.300-1 \ libcurand-dev-10-2=10.1.2.300-1 \ libnvinfer8=8.0.1-1+cuda10.2 \ libnvinfer-plugin8=8.0.1-1+cuda10.2 \ libnvonnxparsers8=8.0.1-1+cuda10.2 \ libnvparsers8=8.0.1-1+cuda10.2 \ python3-libnvinfer=8.0.1-1+cuda10.2 \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* # Install gstreamer RUN apt-get update && apt-get install --yes \ libgstreamer1.0-0=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.2 \ gstreamer1.0-tools=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.2 \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-good=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.3 \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 \ gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 \ gstreamer1.0-libav=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 \ libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.3 \ libgstrtspserver-1.0-0=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 \ libgstrtspserver-1.0-dev=1.14.5-0ubuntu1~18.04.1 \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* # CUDA Varibles ENV CUDA_ROOT="/usr/local/cuda-10.2" ENV PATH="$CUDA_ROOT/bin:${PATH}" ENV CPATH="$CUDA_ROOT/targets/aarch64-linux/include:${CPATH}" ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$CUDA_ROOT/targets/aarch64-linux/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" # Install important apt packages RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated --no-install-recommends \ libusb-1.0-0-dev \ openssh-client \ python3-gi=3.26.1-2ubuntu1 \ python3-numpy=1:1.13.3-2ubuntu1 \ python3-pip \ python3-venv=3.6.7-1~18.04 \ python3-dev=3.6.7-1~18.04 \ nfs-common \ isc-dhcp-client\ kmod \ libssl-dev \ net-tools \ usbutils \ python3-dbus \ iputils-ping \ cryptsetup \ gdisk \ libjson-glib-dev=1.4.2-3ubuntu0.18.04.1 \ libssl1.1=1.1.1-1ubuntu2.1~18.04.23 \ libjansson4=2.11-1 \ libyaml-cpp-dev=0.5.2-4ubuntu1 \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* # Install ffmpeg version 4.3.2 and its relevant required libs RUN apt-get update && \ apt-get install -y software-properties-common && \ add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/ffmpeg-4 && \ apt-get install -y ffmpeg && \ apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ libavformat-dev \ libavcodec-dev \ libavdevice-dev \ libavutil-dev \ libavfilter-dev \ libswscale-dev \ libswresample-dev && \ rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* && \ apt-get remove -y software-properties-common # Install deepstream package (also remove installation of test app) WORKDIR / RUN wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/assets/Deepstream/DeepStream_6.0/deepstream_sdk_v6.0.0_jetson.tbz2 && \ tar -xvf deepstream_sdk_v6.0.0_jetson.tbz2 -C / && \ sed -i '47,68d' /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/install.sh && \ /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/install.sh && \ ldconfig && \ rm -rf /deepstream_sdk_v6.0.0_jetson.tbz2 && \ rm -rf /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/bin && \ rm -rf /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/doc && \ rm -rf /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/samples ... rest of our application ``` The installation seems straightforward, and is very similar to the installation on Jetpack 4.6, apart from the BSP download and applying debs manually. For some reason, gstreamer is blacklisting some of the deepstream plugins. I’ve manually check if the dependencies for the shared library exist by using `ldd`, and they all shows up fine. I also checked the output of `ldconfig -p` to ensure the gstreamer plugins exist, and they do. I’ve attach the output when doing `GST_DEBUG=4 gst-inspect-1.0 -b` after removing the cache file in `/root/.cache/gstreamer-1.0`. [inspect-output.txt](https://forums.balena.io/uploads/short-url/uT1rFYNHsEolFGlL2gmOH8DjxNT.txt) (151.5 KB) There’s a few stderr out regarding `nvbuf_utils: Could not get EGL display connection`, but the `DISPLAY` env var is already unset, and this device does not have any display output as well. Any help pointing towards where to look into fixing this issue would be appreciated. Thanks! ---

Just taking an initial look I don’t see anything huge that stands out. My only thought so far is that if this is for a TX2NX, using balenaOS 2.113.14, the host OS has l4t-r32.7.3 and you are installing 32.6.1 in the container. Ideally they should match, but I’m not sure that alone will solve the plugin blacklisting issue. It might be worth a try though. ---

Hey @alanb128 We have a custom BalenaOS for the custom carrier board that we’re using, which has a TX2NX. It was built against L4T32.6.1. ---

Ah, thanks for that detail @nicholas-presien , at least you can check that item off. We will look it over some more to see if we have any ideas. ---

@alanb128 I also have a thread in the Nvidia forums with more information ([Deepstream gstreamer plugin blacklist in custom docker container - DeepStream SDK - NVIDIA Developer Forums](https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/deepstream-gstreamer-plugin-blacklist-in-custom-docker-container/260497)). Might contain more information to help debug too. ---

Update: I was able to solve the issue, the issue was not a missing library, but rather `tegra-egl` path is not in the ldconfig configs. I updated the BSP installation part of the docker container to include `echo "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra-egl" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-tegra-egl.conf` and that fixes the issue of gstreamer blacklisting the deepstream plugins. However, whenever I do a `gst-inspect-1.0 nvtracker` to show its information, it would still crashes from a seg fault (similar to what I posted in my earlier post). This however doesn’t seem to cause any issue when running the sample apps.
