Doesn't work with SDK Manager version 1.6.0 (it still detects 20.04)
Maybe the docker image will work?

@jwatte yes it's annoying. I downgraded to 1.4.1.7402 as that one works. I can't believe Nvidia still have not added support for 20.04 :/

No I have not tried the Docker image.

@Lauszs @jwatte Hi, for Ubuntu 20.04, 20.10 and 21.04:

sudo cp /usr/lib/os-release to /usr/lib/os-release-bionic
sudo cp /usr/lib/os-release to /usr/lib/os-release-hisure
sudo nano /usr/lib/os-release-bionic
# fill in indices for Ubuntu 18 as mentioned above.

When you want to start sdkmanager:

sudo cp /usr/lib/os-release-bionic /usr/lib/os-release
sdkmanager

When you are done:

sudo cp /usr/lib/os-release-hisure /usr/lib/os-release
