GPU Access Issue with NVIDIA JetPack 6.1 Docker Image

[kabirkedia]

Hello dusty,
Happy New Year! I’m reaching out for help with an issue we’ve encountered while using the official NVIDIA JetPack 6.1 image. Here's the image we’re using: [NVIDIA JetPack 6.1 - PyTorch](https://hub.docker.com/layers/dustynv/l4t-pytorch/r36.4.0/images/sha256-a05c85def9139c21014546451d3baab44052d7cabe854d937f163390bfd5201b).

When we run a container based on this image, everything works fine as long as it’s connected to a display and a user is logged in. However, when accessing the container via SSH, GPU access is problematic. Specifically:

• A non-root user with the same permissions as the user outside the container cannot access the GPU.
• GPU access works when logged in as root.

We also tested the same setup with JetPack 5.1, and this issue does not occur in that version.

If anyone has insights or suggestions on resolving this, please let me know!

Thanks,
Kabir Kedia
