I got the jetson nano from you and I spent a bit in the elab trying to get it to work but for some reason the internet didn't work, then I took it back down to my room and tried to get it to work and it still didn't work. The reason I thought it didn't work was that the dorm wifi sucks, but after failing I went to sleep cuz the internet cuts out anyways then the next day i forgot about it and did regular stuff then the next day i tried again and after googling it said that it didn't even have on board wifi since it is supposed to be "mobile" or whatever so then i had to steal Khoi's wifi USB thing from his laptop so then i got it to connect to the DORM_RAD but the wifi still sucked so when i tried to install pip using apt it failed to connect to servers so i instead stole one of lawerences ethernet cables and finally got a relatively good connection in the dorms. I checked the /bin/ folder and it said that it had python 2.7 and 3.6 installed, i wanted 3.9 since that is the latest version of python tensorflow ran on so i tried to uninstall 3.6 using apt but then it said that it wasn't installed so i thought some previous guy had installed it without using apt so that's why it didn't detect it so then i did sudo rm /bin/python3.6 then the screen blacked out. I didn't know that 3.6 is preinstalled on ubuntu so then had to go into terminal mode and run this auto thing that would fix everything since a bunch of the GUI stuff uses python to run. So then that means i had to install python 3.9 along with 3.6 which is dumb, but apt's latest supported python is 3.6 so i had to have it import some weird "snake" or something list of programs and got 3.9 and pip installed, but then when i did pip install tensorfllow it said that there wasn't a version available for some reason so then i googled the error and they said that I had the wrong version of python and it is only between 3.6-3.8 but i had 3.6 and 3.9 so i down graded to 3.8, it still didn't work, some random thread said that you had to have the 64 bit python not 32 so then i had to figure out which version but the example code to check was from 2009 so none of their code works with pythons library, i finally found a way and it actually was 64 bit. So then it thought maybe pip was wrong so i ran pip --version and it said it was doing python 3.6 even though i had 3.8 so then i had to uninstall pip then force reinstall as pip for 3.8, it still didn't work, so then i upgraded back to 3.9 because maybe the old version was messing it up, and pip to 3.9 but it still didn't work, then i tiried to manually install pip using the get-pip.py on 3.9 but it still didn't work then the ethernet cut out since after 10:30 in the dorms and then the next day i went home where maybe the internet is better but i still haven't worked on it yet.
