Hello!
There are some old threads on a Remote Desktop GUI. Could someone suggest a “new and improved” solution for the Jetson Nano Orin?
I couldn’t install RealVNC server (arm64) on the Orin Nano. I’ve never had any luck with Remmina on arm64 hardware (but successful on amd64).
Any other alternate tried and tested solutons will work for me since I don’t have any preference. Thanks.
Regards.
Hi,
Please try this setup:
Jetson AGX Orin FAQ
Tried (and re-checked for editing mistakes) but RealVNC server still refused the connection request.
Haven’t had luck with Remmina too.
Anything else that I can try? Thanks.
Regards.
I use tigervnc-standalone and it was the easiest to get working. xrdp is another option but I’ve had many issues trying to get it to work.
Hi,
Please connect the Orin Nano developer kit to a TV and try this:
VNC without display - #4 by carolyuu
Purchased a dongle for the DisplayPort to HDMI conversion, but I presume that the SKU I selected was incompatible because the TV couldn’t display anything through this connection. Amazon gladly approved the return.
Regards.
P.S.
FWIW, Remote Desktop (a priority for me) has become a challenge with other hardware too - RPi5 with its newer display drivers.
Based on my limited observation with RPi5, I agree with your assertion on TigerVNC but inertia (to a new package across most LAN machines) is my personal weakness.
Regards.
After MUCH arm-wrestling& investigation with folks at REALVNC, we were finally able to get REALVNC server installed and working on the Jetson Orin Nano. So now we can access the desktop from 50 miles away (using REALVNC viewer).
curl -L -o VNC.deb https://downloads.realvnc.com/download/file/vnc.files/VNC-Server-Latest-Linux-ARM64.deb
Run this to install:
sudo apt install -y ./VNC.deb
Run this to start the RealVNC Server:
sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service
You may get some complaints/issue about canbeera, if so fix using:
sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module
(you may need to repeat above install steps afterwords, not sure).
When you run, it may appear nothing is happening, look for a very little VNC icon in the desktop, top right.
Upon opening, it will complain that you need a license/account for cloud operation (get one at REALVNC, there is a freebie/trial as well).
Go to the three bars on the right hand side and choose Licensing.
In the Server license tab, it will appear there is nowhere to enter the info, look for a gray button at the bottom marked RESOLVE.
That will open fields where you can enter your account info and add the Jetson to your remote “group”.
Then on your PC/laptop, you can run REALVNC Viewer & login with your account & access the desktop remotely.
You may need the “dummy”" HDMI plug installed (or a monitor), if the graphics look “wacky”, or blank.
Run this so that it starts when the system boots up (not tested yet):
sudo systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service
