Hello,
We’re trying to setup orin desktop without display. Note that we don’t have physical access to the device and it’s not plugged into a screen. Our end goal is to be able to access the desktop via vnc, using screen sharing or x11vnc.
In our past experience with jetson devices, creating a virtual screen is enough, but this don’t seem to be the case with orin.

This setup is broken,. calling gsettings throws dbus errors because there’s no screen attached. To circunvment this we tried editing dbus settings using x11 forward pass, which was extremely annoying to do, but got vino-server working, it does listen on 5900 and connects, however all connections drop since, again, there’s no display.
Finally we also tried x11vnc, which does connect and show the splash screen, which is not interactive at all. It seems to be just a dummy, since running glxgears seem to work but renders nothing.
I’ve attached Xorg log and xorg.conf, in syslog I see some activity when trying to connect, but no errors:
