The VNC server is only available after you have logged in to Jetson locally. If you wish VNC to be available automatically, use the system settings application on your developer kit to enable automatic login.
You’ll need to know the IP address of your Jetson developer kit to connect from another computer. 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.
