Run the ifconfig command on your developer kit and note down the IP address assigned to eth0 interface if using ethernet, wlan0 interface if using wireless, or l4tbr0 if using the USB device mode Ethernet connection. You’ll need to know the IP address of your Jetson developer kit to connect from another computer. If you wish VNC to be available automatically, use the system settings application on your developer kit to enable automatic login.Ĭonnecting to VNC service from another computer The VNC server is only available after you have logged in to Jetson locally. If an Unencrypted Connection message appears select (. Reboot the system so that the settings take effect VNC viewer applications such as RealVNC, Tight VNC, Tiger VNC, or whichever VNC viewer application is.Specify 0 to suppress the display of the encryption status. The connected VNC Viewer user can dismiss the status bar at any time. Gsettings set vnc-password $(echo -n 'thepassword'|base64) The status is displayed at the bottom of the active VNC Viewer session window, in a green bar if the connection is encrypted and in a red bar if it is unencrypted. # Replace thepassword with your desired password VNC viewer software has no way of knowing this and consequently continues. Set a password to access the VNC server connection established, it is time to launch vncviewer to use the secure tunnel.

Enable the VNC server to start each time you log in.

Setup VNC server on the Jetson developer kit The x11vnc server supports 'tunneling' through through an ecrypted channel, e.g. The problem is that the connection between the viewer and the x11vnc server is unencrypted.

Slower connections will degrade the desktop interaction experience. Here's the setup: VNC Viewer - port 1234 -> Router -> port 5900 on Linux workstation. A fairly fast network connection is needed. Your Jetson developer kit and the other computer need to be on the same network.
