I want to install v4l-utils, actually, I'm Using L4T on TX2.

A few days ago, I updated L4T version 27.1 -> 28.1.

And then I couln't open System Settings -> Software & Updates.

Anyway, I ran sudo apt-get install v4l-utils but an error occurred:

E: Unable to locate package v4l-utils.

I tried to find other articles like this one in order to fix this, but my case seems a little different.

In conclusion, I have two problems.

  1. I can't install v4l-utils.

  2. I can't open Software & Updates.

    What version of Ubuntu are you on? Do you have the 'universe' repository enabled? (a quick scan showed 'v4l-utils' in universe for supported [trusty, xenial, artful] Ubuntu) – guiverc Feb 02 '18 at 06:34

If you search for v4l-utils in this website, you will see that it is only available for the following versions of Ubuntu in the universe repository:

  • 14.04 (Trusty Tahr)
  • 16.04 (Xenial Xerus)
  • 17.04 (Zesty Zapus)
  • 17.10 (Artful Aardvark)
  • 18.04 (Bionic)

If you don't know which version of Ubuntu you're using, please execute the following command:

galoget@hackem:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS"

In the output of this command you can verify if you're using one of the releases mentioned before.

If you have one of them, please execute these commands and tell us if it worked.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install v4l-utils

Or download the .DEB file with its dependencies from here depending on your release.

If this doesn't work, please refer to the following steps to install the package from source:

  1. Download the package from its official website, I tested this with v4l-utils-1.14.1.tar.bz2.

  2. Extract the content with: tar -xvjf v4l-utils-1.14.1.tar.bz2

  3. Check README and INSTALL files to verify dependencies and follow their instructions:

    $ ./bootstrap.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install

And about your 2nd issue, please refer to this guide, good luck.

Hope it helps.
