Playing with Nvidia Jetson Nano

Back again
I'm going to necro-post on my own blog... Haha how fast does time fly? I figure best way to get back into it is to just dive in...

While at Nvidia's GPU conference this year, I was lucky enough to pick up a Jetson Nano edge computer and play around with it a bit. There are quirks as its still a developer board and well its linux so its good if you can troubleshoot things as they come...

Jetson Nano + apt vncserver == bad idea
I immediately tried to install tightvncserver on my nano running ubuntu 18.04... I tried following standard desktop install instructions those didn't work. Most install instructions have you install several dependencies and desktop environments i added some gnome panels and pretty much bricked my OS. apt remove doesn't work...

Jetson Nano + VNC solution!
Then I noticed some documentation on the OS for the jetpack referencing using vino as a means of providing VNC capability. (To remotely login to your computer over the network). I tried this, but it didn't work either, specifically no indication it was running, and then i found desktop sharing icon built into linux. This is the vino package, but its broken in the UI, this website tells you how to fix it:

Let's see if I can keep the momentum going...
