Thanks Max, the process I’m using to set up a new board from scratch follows your instructions to the letter:
The only difference in this case is that I took a more recent image:
instead of the 2.7.5 mentioned in the instructions.
Please advise.
The link you sent to jetsonhacks.com doesn’t really get to the bottom of the issue, more like a workaround. I can go that route but I prefer to get the base installation in ship-shape.
Yes, this has to do with the fact that Canonical’s Ubuntu by default does require a working network connection. Just connect Ethernet and you should be fine.
Actually I found the culprit:
As part of installing the Jetpack, nvidia adds a script which gets run from /etc/rc.local called report_ip_to_host.sh (pretty clear what it does) which didn’t get removed after the installation of the Jetpack completed. I removed this and now that spamming stopped.
