Issue Details

I want to enable embedded UI for my Real-Time target but the checkbox is greyed out like the below image.

Solution

This is happening because the locale selected for the target is not English language.
NI Linux RT does not support non-English characters natively. In order to enable embedded UI you will be required to select English as the locale.
