If you are having issues, check the /var/log/vncserver-xll.log on the target host for useful troubleshooting hints.
You should connect to the the target host. Step 1: Download and Install VNC viewer from here. If you do, specify a port other than 5900 as the first value of the -L parameter.) VNC (Virtual Network Computing) enables you to control your Jetson developer kit from another computer. If you have both wired / wireless network connected, choose one to share with. Or set a hard-to-guess password for choice. (Note: You should NOT have VNC server listening on port 5900 when you do this. Set ‘New connections must ask for access’ if you’re sitting at Ubuntu computer. You are connecting to the same, source system. Connect to 127.0.0.1 (your loopback address). Ssh -L 5900:192.168.1.8:5900 you've authenticated and are connected successfully, use VNC Connect (or another VNC tool) to make a direct connection to the target, as follows: Here's an example that worked using a Pi that had IP 192.168.1.8: Then, connect to the host using a VNC client and run the RealVNC configuration using the GUI.įor some situations (such as for me, using a Raspberry Pi with preinstalled RealVNC server, but where I had the same situation as you did), I used ssh port forwarding to tunnel the VNC connection to my host, ran the RealVNC configuration to register my Home account to the web service, and then was able to use RealVNC via the web as usual. One approach is to install another VNC package.
