Errors in GPU frequency about jetson-fan-ctl

[Pyrestone]

workaround: open the config file in your favorite editor (e.g. nano):
sudo nano /etc/automagic-fan/config.json

and change
"MAX_PERF":1
to
"MAX_PERF":0

the main issue here is probably in your jetson_clocks tool, which this script calls, but it is not part of the automagic-fan package. It comes with jetpack.

I think we need to reopen this one.
the issue is when the service start the GPU is not ready yet. solution is delay the service until GPU ready.

add

After=nvargus-daemon.service

inside Unit section of automagic-fan.service file will do it

@sunfic are you sure that all users even have the nvargus-daemon service installed?

Otherwise that line might prevent the service from ever starting up...

I think for now a better solution might be to just add a try-catch block around the jetson-clocks call.

nvargus-daemon is the default component within jetson pack. Unless user uninstall it on purpose it is always there and starts with system regardless you have camera hooking on or not.

Capturing the error from jetson-clocks is also good idea.
