- FAQ for DeepStream GitHub Mono-repo
- 1. Where is the DeepStream GitHub mono-repo located?
- 2. Where can I download the DeepStream SDK packages?
- 3. Why has DeepStream moved from NGC to GitHub for release packages?
- 4. What packages are available in the GitHub release assets?

- 6. Where can I find the NVIDIA-AI-IOT GitHub repositories in the GitHub mono-repo?
- 7. Where do I get the DeepStream Libraries Python wheel?
- 8. How do I download DeepStream release assets from GitHub using wget or curl?
- 9. Can I still download DeepStream from NGC?
- 10. Where did the DS 9.1 public tar/deb files go since they are no longer on NGC?
- 11. The Jetson DS 9.1 containers are not found in the NGC deepstream-l4t repo (https://catalog.ngc.nvidia.com/orgs/nvidia/-/containers/deepstream-l4t). Where did they go?
- 12. Where did the DeepStream Open Source Dockers move to for DS 9.1? (previously https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/deepstream_dockers)
- 13. Where are DeepStream Skills, auto-magic-calib, and inference-builder located with GitHub Monorepo?
- 14. Are there any proprietary files in the DeepStream mono-repo?
- 15. I am observing a warning while launching dockers: “groups: cannot find name for group ID 993” or similar. Where does this come from?
- 16. How do I build or modify DeepStream components on SBSA / DGX Spark?
DeepStream Setup On WSL2#
DeepStream On WSL2
- DeepStream On WSL
- FAQ for DeepStream On WSL
- 1. Do we need to install nvidia driver inside Ubuntu Image with WSL?
- 2. While installing driver, should you choose ‘Clean Installation’?
- 3. While starting docker, I face error:“docker: Error response from daemon: could not select device driver “” with capabilities: [[gpu]]. What should I do?
- 4. While starting docker, I get error “GPU access blocked by operating system”. What should I do?
- 5. While installing Ubuntu image for WSL2, I get error: “The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it”. What should I do?
- 6. While running deepstream-app for the first time, I get an error: “GLib (gthread-posix.c): Unexpected error from C library during ‘pthread_setspecific’: Invalid argument. Aborting.”. What should I do?
- 7. There is no video on the screen while running gstreamer or deepstream video pipelines. But pipeline seems to be running in terminal without any error. What is the reason?
- 8. Warning prints are coming while running deepstream-app for first time after starting docker. For e.g: “deepstream-app –version” shows below warnings. Is that an issue?
- 9. While using pipelines involving ‘nveglglessink’ or any other display sinks, black screen is coming with “MESA: error: Failed to attach to x11 shm” on terminal.
- 10. While running a gstreamer or deepstream pipeline, I get errors “Error while setting IOCTL”, “Invalid control”, “S_EXT_CTRLS for CUDA_GPU_ID failed” followed by a SIGSEGV. What should I do?
