The RPi is connected to a monitor with a HDMI cable on the first HDMI port but the monitor is not used as the RPi is run headless (it is just in case). I've got a RPi4 with Ubuntu 22.04 which can be accessed using VNC, which was setup on the RPi using x11vnc. I have also tried many solutions found via general internet searches (i.e. However, every forum post I've found has not solved my problem. Thanks for helping to wake my brain up Wouter, people like you are helping me keep sane in these very odd times.To start with, I do realise there are a lot of posts on the forum about this topic.
Vncserver will start a virtual desktop (headless xserver with desktop manager, not virtual machine).Here are some instructions: "Īnyhow, all sorted, so now all I need to do is connect it to the scope, learn all of the necessary software, connect it to the relays controlling my roll-off roof,make a weather station to close the roof if it rains as its a remote-ish obsy, learn how to focus the scope and learn about astronomy. The last post is the relevant one:"You want vncserver, not x11vnc. I think I potentially know why though, and digging back into the memory banks I seemed to remember from using tightvnc to support racked servers that it launched its own desktop rather than the one seen at the vga port on the kvm in the server room.įrom what I read here it seems that the nf is only needed if using x11vnc as it expects to ride on an open desktop, whereas tigervnc (or indeed any vnc server) will launch its own desktop: I renamed nf so I could carry on configuring the device, but out of sheer curiosity I unplugged the HDMI rebooted and tried to connect via VNC and it worked. Ok, so depending on how you look at this it's either good news or bad news.
