NoMachine - Jetson Remote Desktop on Windows

[@JetsonHacks]

If you need the GUI back: After following the NoMachine instructions to use the headless option, you turned off the GUI. This is done by the initd system. This is the command which effectively shuts off the GUI (equivalent to run level 3): $ sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target To change to a graphical interface, you would use graphical.target with the command: $ sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

This channel is a national treasure 😊...

You crack me up. I see y'all are doing some great work, the DK6 looks like a beast!

[@rickhunt3183]

This was good food for thought. I was downloading and installing the application while watching the video. I was a bit concerned about 85% cpu utilization, but compressing and sending video, is cpu intensive, and the nano was never designed to be used as a desktop computer. It would probably shine in a control environment sending screen information, and sensory data to a host. It's been a while since we've interacted. I've had to deal with life a bit, but the jetson has been in the back of my mind and I think it's time to give it some attention. I don't know what you'e been up to, but I think it's time to build something. When I watch your videos I always pickup something new that I can use. One thing that's always helped me when dealing with people trying to put an obstacle in my path was something you told me long time ago. Never accept criticism from someone you're not willing to take advice from. When someone says, "that's not possible or that's too hard". I don't even hear, or acknowledge that. Too hard for them maybe, but with some determination you can always make things happen.Consider adding LoRa to a project and controlling something , or reading sensory data from a long distance. It might be fun. Anyway You just take care of yourself and have a great night.

Thanks for taking the time to write this note. The Nano is a fun little machine, but using it via a remote desktop seems odd to me. It might be useful to do that in certain circumstances, but as a daily driver remote seems a little much. If you're trying to do some AI type of tasks, serving a Jupyter notebook seems a better way to go. For more involved tasks, like video overlays and transmission, more specialized software for compression and transmission would make more sense. Trying to get a feel for the new year projects, hopefully have some fun stuff in the future. Good to hear that you're dealing with life.

Greetings! Thank you for the video, Jim! -- I was looking for this type of information for long time! Two questions, if I may: 1) How are your Windows machine and Jetson Nano connected? Is it via Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi? 2) A while ago I was researching options for remote desktop. NoMachine was one of suggestions. Someone has also mentioned an open-source software called Remmina. Have you heard about / tried Remmina? P.S.: I got myself a portable monitor and, hence, have never tried remoting. Though I feel like I need to start homelabing.

[@JetsonHacks]

You are welcome. In the video, the PC and the Jetson are on the same wired local Ethernet network. Reminna is an open source alternative to NoMachine. NoMachine is more modern, and provides features beyond the Reminna offering such as file transfers. Reminna is for use connecting Linux machines together (RDP, VNC,SSH), NoMachine works across all major platforms and devices. NoMachine uses a compression technique called adaptive compression, which takes into account the speed of the network dynamically. NoMachine tends to be faster for that reason. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

IS there any reason why the GUI isn`t available when you disconnect the remote access? all i have left now is the command promt rather than the original debian interface. Thanks

If you followed the NoMachine instructions and selected the headless option, you turned off the GUI. This is done by the initd system.

Hello again, I followed the instructions in the video, however the machine usually does not show up in nomachine, or even when it does show up it always shows connection timeout. I connected them via a usb-c cable. Do you know if I used a HDMI cable it would fix things up? Thanks

[@JetsonHacks]

I'm not sure what you mean by HDMI cable? The machines must be connected over a network connection, like Ethernet or wireless.

[@zero-gt9yg]

Thank you first for the good video. I have a question. Ubuntu is trying to run an installation file like window's '.exe'. Ubuntu says I can use an app called 'wine', but I failed this. So I found something called NoMachine while trying to find another way. Can this NoMachine run the '.exe' file in Ubuntu environment?

[@JetsonHacks]

A .exe file is for a x86 Windows machine, and not natively supported in Ubuntu. Thanks for watching!

[@rabisankarbhowmik9728]

Hi, I am facing issues when I connect the HDMI display with Jetson Orin after NoMachine installation, The HDMI display does not show, only the remote display shows. What to do?

[@JetsonHacks]

Please see the pinned comment at the top of the comments section to turn the display back on.

[@vuxuanhai7311]

Thanks ❤❤ what is different between nomachine and vnc?

[@JetsonHacks]

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) and NoMachine are both remote desktop software solutions. There are several differences: 1. Protocol - VNC uses Remote Frame Buffer to control another machine remotely. It transmits keyboard and mouse events, and relays the graphical screen updates to the client. It's simple and compatible with most systems. NoMachine uses its own NX protocol. NX uses techniques like adaptive compression, caching, and differential frame encoding to minimize the amount of data that needs to be transmitted between the remote and local machines. This is especially useful if you are doing graphically intensive applications remotely. 2. VNC is a more basic experience, depending on the VNC variant used (RealVNC, TightVNC, and so on). NoMachine provides a more modern experience, plus you can do file transfers and play audio and video files on the remote desktop. 3. Setup - VNC can be more complex to set up, especially for less experienced users. Setup for NoMachine took me about 10 minutes all together. 4. Security - NoMachine offers robust security features, including SSL encryption, out of the box. That's usually a paid upgrade on VNC. Thanks for watching!

Hi, I am confused on how I can install nomachine on my jetson device when I cannot get the jetson desktop running in the first place(I do not have a monitor). Thanks!

[@JetsonHacks]

You can install it via SSH.

[@ngocmanprocoder]

I want to shutdown jetson nano after disconnecting NoMachine with jetson nano. And I just do it by simply unplugging dc power jack or using physical monitor? Thanks a million.

[@JetsonHacks]

You should shut off the Jetson from NoMachine before disconnecting NoMachine. You can unplug the DC power jack, but risk corrupting data that way.

[@홍시몽-y7j]

I ran into a problem while following the process in the video above. After installing No Machine on Jetson Nano and shutting it down, I installed No Machine on Windows and booted Jetson Nano, but it does not boot. It does not go past the myname-desktop login screen. please help meㅠㅠ

[@JetsonHacks]

From your description, it sounds like there's an issue. Can you SSH into the Jetson from your Windows machine?

[@naidinp]

Hi Jim, thanks for sharing your tips and tells with us, I didn’t miss a single one ;). Can you make a video on disabling deep sleep; I can't find a solution. I have a Jetson Nano upgrade to ubuntu 20.04 with LXDE desktop. greetings from France

[@JetsonHacks]

A true fan! Even I don't watch all of the videos. I'm not sure what you mean by deep sleep. Do you mean the screen and automatic suspend? These can be adjusted in the Settings > Power section. Thanks for watching!

[@naidinp]

@@JetsonHacks yes, I already tried in the settings for the screen and it worked, however it always goes into deep sleep and it is impossible to turn it back on. I have to unplug the power and plug it back in. Do you have any tips for disabling suspend mode?

[@JetsonHacks]

@@naidinpI don't know the answer. Please ask the question on the official Jetson Nano forum where the NVIDIA engineers can help work through the problem.
