Or if you LEFT clik, you get a small drop down menu. Retried establishing VNC session over SSH tunnel but the result was still the same. So I decided to untick X11 forwarding option in SSH settings in PuTTy (because VNC is not dependant on X11 forwarding). I read just a bit about X11 and its "structure", about X11 servers and stuff like that. Since yesterday afternoon I made a small progress in testing and troubleshooting. So my original posting is a bit outdated. Yesterday I tried to post my first message in this topic (see above) but it got moderated (!) and then only released overnight. I am doing something without knowing what it is, whether it is right or wrong and why. I would love to find some well documented info re: other SSH / VNC settings that I should / should not be using, e.g. is Openbox ?Īs I wrote above I am going to try to use VNC without setting up SSH tunnel. When I right click some dodgy mini drop down menu appears in fancy rainbow-like colours. I do not know exactly what I was looking at on the screen except that I know that this was a picture of a huge fruit berry.
No familiar LXDE desktop, just a huge raspberry. see a huge picture of the raspberry in the VNC client window. amend Norton Internet Security settings to allow VNC communication from the localhost set up TightVNC client on the XP machine with default settings
Turn on vnc through ssh raspberry pi how to#
set up some sort of SSH tunnel using limited instructions / knowledge available (there are loads of settings in PuTTy than I did not know how to configure e.g. force VNC server to start at bootup, it works, it starts at bootup set up Tight VNC server with all sorts of more or less random options –localhost –geometry 1024x768 –dpi 96 (probably redundant) –depth 24 – pixelformat rgb565 (or whatever)
set up basic SSH so I can run RPi terminal on my old XP machine but I wanted to see GUI (I am too old for tortures of command line computing resembling DOS or ZX Spectrum )
Turn on vnc through ssh raspberry pi mac#
assign two IP addresses to RPi, one for each of two network adapters, both static as assigned via router's reservation table, WiFi MAC filtering is sorted too connect RPi to the home network, both hard wired and wirelessly That was probably a mistake (I was too ambitious ?) so I plan to take a step back and test just unsecured VNC to eliminate potential causes of my troubles. I decided to go for the secure VNC setup using SSH tunnelling. I do not have the RPi here with me right now to test anything straight away so if you have any suggestions then I will test them later on. I searched the web and found all sorts of confusing RPi VNC guides and tutorials.Īnyway I followed all the steps from tutorial but got stuck at the very end. I am new to RPi / Linux and only had limited time to play with it since I bough the kit a couple of weeks ago.įor me the whole setup will make true sense if I can access RPi GUI desktop (LXDE) remotely and at least I know it can done.
