*Step 3 : Installing VNC server on Raspberry Pi* HDMI Display : Now you should install VNC server in Raspberry Pi. For that if you have HDMI display and Raspbian OS running on it, open LX-Terminal and type following commands to install VNC. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install tightvncserver Don’t have Display : If you do not arrange display even for one time setup than also no need to worry you can install Putty <http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html> as per your windows configuration and via SSH you can connect with your Raspberry PI. As you will get access of your Pi terminal run following command to install VNC. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install tightvncserver *Start VNC Server on Pi :* For starting VNC, enter the following command in SSH terminal, $ vncserver :1 You will be prompted to enter and confirm a password. This will be asked only once, during one time setup. Enter an 8 digit password. Note that this is the password that you will need to use to connect to the Raspberry Pi remotely. You will also be asked if you want to create a separate “read-only” password – say no (n). Yuppiii…The VNC server is now running on your Pi and so we can attempt to connect to it, but first we must switch to the computer from which we want to control the Pi and setup a VNC client to connect to the Pi. *Step 4 : Client Side (Laptop)* Download VNC client from http://www.realvnc.com/download/vnc/ and install it. When you first run VNC Viewer, you will see following: <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jrpYLPx8AnM/Ugcs1qMdOWI/AAAAAAAAD2w/Mha2iWtSwBI/s1600/image6.jpg> Enter IP address of your Raspberry Pi given dynamically by your laptop and append with :1 (denoting port number) and press connect. You will get a warning message, press ‘Continue’. <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QEZf84m1CP8/Ugcs15rEb2I/AAAAAAAAD20/oaFnKfIx_-M/s1600/image7.jpg> Enter the 8 digit password which was entered in VNC server installation on Raspberry Pi. <http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rHwLm5wQxJs/Ugcs2ioSavI/AAAAAAAAD3A/23DeUilZUB4/s1600/image8.jpg> Finally, the VNC window itself should appear. You will be able to use the mouse and do everything as if you were using the Pi’s keyboard mouse and monitor, except through your other computer. As with SSH, since this is working over your network, your Pi could be situated anywhere, as long as it is connected to your network. <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Wx-PMUQaZMk/Ugc2WpZfvzI/AAAAAAAAD3Y/HjOkgSxBk1A/s1600/image9.jpg> *Step 5 : Running VNC server at startup in Raspberry Pi* Connecting to your Raspberry Pi remotely with VNC is fine as long as your Pi does not reboot. If it does, then you either have to connect with SSH and restart the VNC Server or arrange for the VNC Server to run automatically after the Raspberry Pi reboots. To ensure that VNC starts automatically, run following commands on terminal. Open “.config” folder from Pi user folder. (It is hidden folder) $ cd /home/pi $ cd .config Create folder called “autostart” in it. Also create file called “tightvnc.desktop” in that folder. To create file you can use any known text editor. Here I use gnome-text-editor for this. $ mkdir autostart $ cd autostart $ gnome tightvnc.desktop Edit the contents of file with following text and save the file. [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=TightVNC Exec=vncserver :1 StartupNotify=false Now next time you will reboot your Pi vncserver server will start automatically. Congratulation!!! Next time onward whenever you want to do something with your Pi, just connect it with Ethernet Cable to you Laptop and power on it. Open VNCViewver, mention IP address of your Pi and you are ready with you Pi display on your Laptop Screen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "linuxkernelnewbies" group.
