Empty Page with Agent Studio

Issue Overview

Users have reported encountering an issue where the Agent Studio on the Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano Dev board displays an empty page when accessed via a web browser. This problem occurs specifically after executing the following commands to set up and run the application:

jetson-containers run --env HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=my_hugging_face_key $(autotag nano_llm)
python3 -m nano_llm.studio

The symptom is characterized by the inability to load any content on the page accessed at https://192.168.101.217:8050. Users have expressed frustration, as they are unable to see any output or interface, which hampers their ability to utilize the development environment effectively.

The issue appears to be consistent among users who followed similar setup procedures, suggesting a potential common cause related to either configuration or environmental factors. The impact on user experience is significant, as it prevents interaction with the intended features of the Agent Studio, thereby limiting development capabilities.

Possible Causes

• Hardware Incompatibilities or Defects: If the Jetson Orin Nano Dev board has hardware issues, it may not function correctly with specific software setups.

• Software Bugs or Conflicts: There may be bugs in the version of Jetson software being used or conflicts with other installed packages that prevent proper rendering of the Agent Studio interface.

• Configuration Errors: Incorrect environment variable settings or misconfigured parameters in the setup process could lead to failures in launching the application properly.

• Driver Issues: Outdated or incompatible drivers for the graphics or network components could result in display issues or connectivity problems.

• Environmental Factors: Factors such as insufficient power supply or overheating may affect system performance and stability, leading to issues during operation.

• User Errors or Misconfigurations: Users may inadvertently misconfigure their environment variables or setup commands, leading to unexpected behavior.

Troubleshooting Steps, Solutions & Fixes

1. Verify Environment Variables:

   • Ensure that the HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN is set correctly. Use:

     export HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN=your_new_token_here
     

   • Confirm that this token is valid and has appropriate permissions.

2. Check Network Connectivity:

   • Ensure that your Jetson device is connected to the network and that you can access it from your browser.
   • Test connectivity using:

     ping 192.168.101.217
     

3. Inspect Application Logs:

   • Check for any error messages in the terminal where you ran python3 -m nano_llm.studio. Look for stack traces or warnings that might indicate what went wrong.

4. Update Software and Drivers:

   • Ensure that all software packages and drivers are up-to-date. You can update your system using:

     sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
     

5. Test with Example Code:

   • Run a simple example code snippet provided in documentation or forums to verify if it works correctly. If not, this indicates a broader issue with your setup.

6. Isolate Hardware Issues:

   • If possible, test with another Jetson Orin Nano Dev board to determine if the issue is hardware-related.

7. Review Firewall Settings:

   • Check if any firewall settings are blocking access to port 8050. Adjust settings accordingly to allow traffic.

8. Use Alternative Browsers:

   • Sometimes browser compatibility can be an issue; try accessing the page using different web browsers (e.g., Chrome, Firefox).

9. Reinstall Software Packages:

   • If all else fails, consider reinstalling relevant software packages related to Agent Studio and Jetson containers.

10. Consult Documentation:

    • Refer to Nvidia’s official documentation for any updates on known issues or additional troubleshooting steps specific to Agent Studio.

11. Community Support:

    • If unresolved, consider posting detailed information about your setup (including logs) on forums for community assistance.

By following these steps, users should be able to diagnose and potentially resolve the issue of encountering an empty page in Agent Studio on their Nvidia Jetson Orin Nano Dev board.
