running docker-compose-gui-nvidia.yml on jetson nano about realsense-ros2-docker

[RezaOptimotive]

the source docker file is still building, should be the end of it though.

I'll test this new one right after testing the source container.

Hi @RezaOptimotive
I sadly do not have a Jetson Nano so I can't try myself. Could you try to modify the Dockerfile and replace it with the following (basically removing everything that comes after the step that failed)?

FROM ros:humble-perception

ENV WS_DIR="/ros2_ws"
WORKDIR ${WS_DIR}

SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

RUN apt-get update -y \
 && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    cmake \
    git-all \
    software-properties-common

This minimal Docker should now compile as long as you have properly set-up the Nvidia Container Runtime. Then once inside the Docker execute
$ apt-get update
$ apt search librealsense2
and let me know what the output of it is.
In case it does not find any packages still it might as well be that Intel does not provide readily available Debian packages for Arm and Jammy (but it actually should as far as I know). In that case you could try the installation from source Dockerfile. Finally you could also try emulating amd64 as described here.

[RezaOptimotive]

This is the output I get:

Next I'll try building from source.

I see, could you try modifying your Dockerfile now as follows:

FROM ros:humble-perception

ENV WS_DIR="/ros2_ws"
WORKDIR ${WS_DIR}

SHELL ["/bin/bash", "-c"]

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

RUN apt-get update -y \
 && apt-get install -y \
    build-essential \
    cmake \
    git-all \

 && add-apt-repository "deb https://librealsense.intel.com/Debian/apt-repo $(lsb_release -cs) main" -u \
 && apt-get update -y \
 && apt-get install -y librealsense2

RUN apt-get update -y \
 && apt-get install -y \
    ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-rviz2 \
    ros-${ROS_DISTRO}-librealsense2 \
 && mkdir src \
 && cd src \
 && git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/realsense-ros.git -b ros2-development \
 && cd .. \
 && apt-get install -y python3-rosdep \
 && source /opt/ros/${ROS_DISTRO}/setup.bash \
 && rm /etc/ros/rosdep/sources.list.d/20-default.list \
 && rosdep init \
 && rosdep update \
 && rosdep install -i --from-path src --rosdistro ${ROS_DISTRO} --skip-keys=librealsense2 -y \
 && colcon build

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=dialog

and see if that works?

[2b-t]

@RezaOptimotive Excellent, keep me posted. Would be cool if we could make this work for arm64 as well. Was not aware that the packages for arm64 would be different.

[RezaOptimotive]

Building from source works great!

Moving on to the latest Dockerfile you sent!

[RezaOptimotive]

It gives unable to locate package librealsense2

[2b-t]

@RezaOptimotive I see, just saw before that you had the output Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-arm64/Packages' as repository 'https://librealsense.intel.com/Debian/apt-repo jammy InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'arm64'. So their repository in fact does not support arm64. Meaning building from source is your only option.

Have you already tested that it not only builds but you are also able to access the camera with e.g. $ rs-enumerate-devices --compact and visualize the camera stream?

[RezaOptimotive]

Yes! rs-enumerate-devices --compact runs successfully.

After that I tested rs-depth and that works as well.

Then I tested running ros2 launch realsense2_camera rs_launch.py pointcloud.enable:=true and the topics are available, however it does not allow me to open rviz2 so I looked up the error:

Unable to create the rendering window

So from this I added -NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=all to the yaml file yet I still have no success getting the GUI to open.

It might be worth making a new issue for this however if you agree.

[2b-t]

Excellent, let's open a separate issue for that (but it should be fairly easy to fix). Let me know in that issue what your set-up is like in more detail (operating system, is a screen attached to the Jetson or are you connecting over ssh?).

[2b-t]

Should be resolved in #2 (comment).
