Well, so far I have reached to the step where my jetson nano is booted up and I’m able to connect to it with Putty and jetson nano is connected to wifi (used this method (part 3) but eth0 doesn’t have an IP address and therefore I can’t proceed to the step where I can use the GUI. I’m using a realt…

the steps should be followed in full as quoted from the original author’s post [hxn130599] Connect JN to laptop using ethernet cable and use putty to enter SSH in SSH, install vncserver as well as viewer: sudo apt install tightvncserver && sudo apt instsall xtightvncviewer then run cmd “vncserver”…

Update: I think I got the IP address (in wlan0) I needed as when I use that IP to login through putty…it works but I’m not able make this work with tightVNC and Remote desktop connection… any suggestions…?

Hi, For IP issue, I am not sure which interface you are trying to use. eth0 is generally for the wired ethernet. And wlan0 should be from wifi card. In both methods, the other side should provide the dhcp server to provide you the IP. As for tightVNC, please check if this thread can help. …

okay…i will look into it…but since I got tired after many unsuccessful attempts, I’m trying to work it out with the putty…

okay…it says to install vncserver and viewer… but i want to confirm that should i install that in my jetson nano?

it depends, you may also just use e.g. nomachine from deb for armv8l https://download.nomachine.com/download/7.1/Arm/nomachine_7.1.3_1_arm64.deb did not try the latter in headless though

okay…thanks…but i think i might go with tightvnc and see if it works out…

Hello, You can also try x11vnc to get the display. Install it on the target system and run vncviewer from the client system.

okay…can u give me more info on that?

I think you can run like below: sudo apt install x11vnc ps -ef | grep X # get the display number to be used below x11vnc -usepw -auth guess -display :<display-number> Generally, this trick works for me. I have not done this on latest JetPacks but it should work with the latest JPs as well.
