What I did to view the desktop of my linux installation was installed a vnc server on the beaglebone and installed a client (was actually a chrome app) on my laptop, and then connected through a remote desktop type interface.
To do this I did the following (from http://www.circuidipity.com/getting-started-with-beaglebone-black.html) Run these commands as super user: # opkg update# opkg install x11vnc# x11vnc -bg -o %HOME/.x11vnc.log.%VNCDISPLAY -auth /var/run/gdm/auth-for-gdm*/database -display :0 -forever On Thursday, 17 October 2013 17:54:44 UTC+1, Vikas arora wrote: > > Hello, I am having the beaglebone black and today I got the HDMI cable for > it.
