I had a look at the N2 forums and you are not the only one having problems. A few people suggested an experimental version of NoMachine which was working for them Use the V8 ARM version if you want to give it a go. www.nomachine.com/download/linux&id=30&s=ARM
There may be some issues with TeamViewer on the N2 which were not present with the XU4 as I did not have any of the issues that you are facing.
I will speak to a friend who is more proficient in this than me and see if he has any ideas.

Wow, Thank You! That worked painlessly!
sudo dpkg -i nomachine_6.7.6_3_arm64.deb

Running nicely now, with my 90M fits files, this is fast. There are still some USB issues to work out, but I think they can be overcome. With this Firefox window open and KStars I'm using 2.7 G RAM.

I will summarize my install process/issues once I have things stabilized a bit more.

Mike, next time you're in Canada, I owe you a libation (and Jasem) :)

Hello fellow Canuck. I use NoMachine on my Pi and it's a pretty decent remote desktop app I rather like. I'm glad to hear it is working on the Odroid-N2.
The decision to get one is looking clearer the more I read about real world experiences here.

Sooo pleased that it has worked and good to know that others planning on using N2 have an easy way of remoting in and using it headless.
You should see a massive jump in performance over the Pi.
Use the stable versions of KStars 3.2.3 and avoid the nightly builds as they do introduce frustration unless something is not working of course.
My adventures with triplet lens element re-centering worked out well. Found out I had some tilt issues too but sorted those out last night using a T2 tilter and the first clear skies for a while.
Everything's right with the World!! :)

Well it has warts. My GPSD device isn't being seen. The other drivers, Celestron CGEM, Nikon, QHY5-II-M, Astrometry, SkySafari seem to work but tonight will be my 1st test with this new re-install. I intend to try Phd2 guiding as well, as I was definitely running out of memory on the Rpi3B+ with it Phd2 and my 90 M Nikon fits files. Now I can have Fits Review images enabled :) The real issue is clean usb. As noted in a previous post on the N2, I've added a usb2 hub to the micro port as a way of isolating them from the USB3 wifi adapter and Nikon USB3 camera connections. Without that hub things didn't work. Even in this scenario, I haven't got the GPSD to be visible yet.

Haven't got complete OS X / Odroid file sharing working as well as Stellarmate yet.

I will submit my best recollection of what I did to this point later.

One glitch I have come across (or self-created) on the Odroid-N2 is that I can't see to install astrometry.net .

using this as the source for install commands:
github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/blob/...trometry_on_linux.sh

I get
sudo ./install_astrometry_on_linux.sh
[sudo] password for odroid:

Hi Jerry,
I don't use git hub much. I just used
sudo apt-get install astrometry.net
Then manually downloaded the astrometry fits files needed on my desktop PC and transferred them manually onto the Odroid.
I will have another look when I get back tonight.
