Once trusted the source, the user will be redirected to a login page where the default username is:

Warning

The Nvidia Jetson Nano with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS comes with the ubuntu-fan script that is launched by the ifup command. Since this relies on the fanctl script which requires root privileges, this causes issues on the Kura networking. For example, the network configuration cannot be applied due to some errors. Here are some further details. To avoid errors in the application of the network configuration is preferable to disable the script execution with this command: chmod -x /etc/network/if-up.d/ubuntu-fan
