Hi there,
I recently bought a jetson orin nano and I’m looking forward to carry on working with it along a remote desktop that’s connected directly between my computer and the jetson with an ethernet connection. I’ve been using reminna in my computer (which os is linux mint) but since i’m quite rookie with communication protocols, I cannot find a suitable way to make the match with the jetson. Is there any appropiate way to use remote desktop (either RCP or VNC) with the jetson?
Thanks
Hi,
Please refer to blow docs:
Thanks
Hey thanks! How does the procedure differ to a connection with ethernet (straight connection, no modem)? I could make it over wifi by the moment
Hi,
Do you mean your VPN connects successfully over wifi but fails when using an ethernet?
Thanks
yes indeed. With Wifi I could but with straight ethernet connection I couldn’t. I did assign an ip to the jetson ethernet connection but it didn’t work.
Again, I’m not an expert in network and perhaps I’m failling at something.
Hi,
Please check the current status of your ethernet connection by running ip a; let us know if the network is operational and provide the command’s output, since we verify our vpn access working normal through ethernet.
Thanks
This is the output of ip a , I think it’s operational, right?

Hi,
It’s look good to me.
Thus, could you connect to network (browser or others) through ethernet?
Thanks
I’m actually triyin to connect to my laptop (which os is linux mint). So Im using remmina with RDP plugin (I did install in the jetson too). So the situation is odd:
I configured the static ip in the jetson and it can be ping ok from my laptop. Same jetson to laptop.
When I want to connect from laptop to jetson with remmina, the supposed shared screen shows the initial nvidia’s white background (the one that appears suddenly at booting) just for a milisecond and it dissapears and the connection is lost again.
PS: I just found a way to get a log from remmina:
The stats button (Ctrl+T), can be useful to gather system info you may share when reporting a bug.

Could it be there any uncompatibility with rdp and the jetson?
There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue anymore.
Hence, we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks ~1008
Is this still an issue to support? Any result can be shared?
