Using the Ubuntu Desktop

Jetson AGX Thor runs a full Ubuntu 24.04 LTS operating system and supports graphical access through a connected monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This is the most straightforward way to interact with the board if you're running GUI-based applications or need local access.

Physical Setup

To use the graphical desktop environment, connect the following peripherals:

• Display: Connect an external monitor to the Thor DisplayPort or HDMI outputs.
• Keyboard and Mouse:
  • Use the USB-A ports directly for standard peripherals.
  • USB-C keyboards/mice can also be used with the USB-C ports.
• Network: Optionally connect an Ethernet cable to enable internet access and remote development.
• Power: Plug in the supplied AC adapter. Use only the official adapter provided with the Jetson AGX Thor Developer Kit.

Logging into Ubuntu

Once powered on, the board will boot into the Ubuntu desktop environment.

If OEM preconfiguration was skipped during flashing, you will be prompted to create a user account on first boot. Otherwise, login will proceed automatically with the predefined user.

If no preconfiguration was done, try logging in with:

user: nvidia
password: nvidia

or

user: ubuntu
password: ubuntu

Note

Note: Once logged in, the system behaves like any standard Ubuntu desktop. You can use the GUI to access terminal, browser, IDEs, and tools just as you would on a regular PC.
