VNC won¡¯t connect

 

I have had this problem since I installed build a pi. I can not connect to VNC until I connect a monitor to it. Once it connects to the monitor the first time I can disconnect the monitor and VNC in but when ever I restart or reboot I need to go through this process again. What am I doing wrong? :)

This is what I get when I try to connect through VNC without first having a monitor connected. if it is a resolution issue, why does connecting a monitor first fix it? what would be a recommended resolution so I wouldnt need to connect a monitor first? I am wanting to try POTA with it but bringing a monitor with instead of my phone or ipad defeats the purpose of the pi :)

 

Daft question. Have you enabled VNC?

I have enabled VNC. I got it to work by changing the resolution as suggested by Brian. Now I just need to figure out a resolution that will show the screen in full without cutting off the bottom
 

Thanks for the tip Brian, I changed the resolution and it works now! just gotta figure out a resolution that doesnt look like this. Everything I select does a version of this where it cuts off the bottom

 

Your VNC viewer should scale it to fit your screen. If for some reason it's not working (I use all kinds of devices at different resolutions from computers to phones and it works fine) then set the resolution to whatever the native resolution of the device you are viewing with is.
