Nvidia Jetson Nano - VNC Install

I have tried the same on Jetson TX2 with JetPack 4.2 and failed. There seems to be no key named ‘enabled’. You can create that key, but vino-server will still refuse to start. I gave up on that and after one day of head scratching I found an alternative solution:

1. Install TigerVNC server:

$ sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-xorg-extension -y

2. Set a password for the VNC server:

$ vncpasswd

3. Create the file “/home/nvidia/.vnc/xstartup” with the following content:

#!/bin/sh
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
export XKL_XMODMAP_DISABLE=1
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

xrdb /home/nvidia/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey

gnome-session &

4. Create the empty file “.Xresources” in your user’s home directory:

$ touch /home/nvidia/.Xresources

5. Create the file “/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service” with the following content:

[Unit]
Description=Start TightVNC server at startup
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=nvidia
Group=nvidia
WorkingDirectory=/home/nvidia
PIDFile=/home/nvidia/.vnc/%H:%i.pid
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i > /dev/null 2>&1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver -localhost no -depth 24 -geometry 1280x720 :%i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

6. Make sure the VNC server starts after system boot:

$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable vncserver@1

7. Configure auto-login with GDM3. Open “/etc/gdm3/custom.conf” and uncomment or change the following lines:

AutomaticLoginEnable=true
AutomaticLogin=nvidia

Reboot the system and try to reach the VNC server at port 5901.

Warning: You have to open GNOME settings immediately and disable the screen saver and screen locking. If the session is locked you cannot enter your password (reasons unknown).

Please report back.
