vnc-setup

vnc-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,198 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for enabling VNC remote desktop access on a Jetson device. VNC lets you view and control the Jetson's graphical desktop from another computer over the network.

In plain words
What is it for?
Installing and configuring the Vino VNC server, setting its password and options, enabling automatic startup, and connecting from Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Why use it?
It removes the need to keep a monitor and keyboard connected to the Jetson. The setup also covers starting the VNC server when the graphical session begins and using a dummy HDMI plug for headless use.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is sudo ln -s ../vino-server.service ./..

Good fit Installing and configuring the Vino VNC server, setting its password and options, enabling automatic startup, and connecting from Windows, macOS, or Linux.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

vnc-setup scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

VNC Remote Desktop Setup on reComputer Jetson

Set up VNC remote desktop access on any Seeed Nvidia Jetson device using the Vino VNC server, enabling headless graphical control from Windows, macOS, or Linux clients.


Execution model

Run one phase at a time. After each phase:

  • Relay all output to the user.
  • If output contains [STOP] → stop immediately, consult the failure decision tree.
  • If output ends with [OK] → tell the user "Phase N complete" and proceed to the next phase.

Prerequisites

Requirement Detail
Jetson device Any Seeed Studio Nvidia Jetson (reComputer series)
JetPack With GNOME desktop environment
HDMI dummy plug Required for headless operation (no monitor)
Network Jetson and client PC on the same network

Phase 1 — Install and configure VNC server (~5 min)

Install Vino:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install vino

Enable VNC server to start with graphical session:

cd /usr/lib/systemd/user/graphical-session.target.wants
sudo ln -s ../vino-server.service ./.

Configure VNC settings:

gsettings set org.gnome.Vino prompt-enabled false
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino require-encryption false

Set VNC password (replace thepassword with your desired password):

gsettings set org.gnome.Vino authentication-methods "['vnc']"
gsettings set org.gnome.Vino vnc-password $(echo -n 'thepassword'|base64)

[OK] when all gsettings commands complete without error. [STOP] if vino package fails to install.


Phase 2 — Edit Vino schema and compile (~3 min)

Back up and edit the Vino schema to add the enabled key:

cd /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas
sudo cp org.gnome.Vino.gschema.xml org.gnome.Vino.gschema.xml.old

Add the following XML block inside the <schema> element of org.gnome.Vino.gschema.xml, before the closing </schema> tag:

<key name='enabled' type='b'>
      <summary>Enable remote access to the desktop</summary>
      <description>
              If true, allows remote access to the desktop via the RFB
              protocol. Users on remote machines may then connect to the
              desktop using a VNC viewer.
      </description>
      <default>false</default>
    </key>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

vnc-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,198 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
