Hi, I'm using voxl2 SDK 0.9.5. Follow these steps:
1.Use exit to get out of the shell and adb reboot to restart your VOXL2
2.Once the device restarts, use adb shell to access the terminal and then use voxl-camera-server to start the camera server manually
3.In a web browser access VOXL Portal as you have been. You should be able to see the stereo camera output.
4.In another terminal, use adb shell to access the terminal and then use voxl-dfs-server to launch the DFS Server.
I can't see 'stereo front disparity', 'stereo front disparity scaled' or 'pointcloud pc' from voxl-portal:

@cch Why are you starting it from the command line in terminal 2? It is already running so you don't need to run it again.

@Eric-Katzfey Thanks. I tried again but got the same result, could you please help me check out if there are other problems? Here are the steps I followed:

1. power up the voxl2
2. open up a terminal and check 'voxl-inspect-services':
```

 voxl-vision-px4      | Disabled  | Not Running |  
 voxl-wait-for-fs     |  Enabled  |  Completed  |  

```
3. open up a web and check the output of voxl-portal:
![voxl-portal3.png](https://forum.modalai.com/assets/uploads/files/1698908082361-voxl-portal3.png) 
4. check 'voxl-inspect-services' again:
```

 voxl-vision-px4      | Disabled  | Not Running |  
 voxl-wait-for-fs     |  Enabled  |  Completed  |  

```
I'm so confused because there is no error showing up from anywhere.

@cch What do you see with `systemctl status voxl-dfs-server`
