VNC connection problem

 

Greetings everyone, I am a new member.

?

I have a problem successfully connecting a VNC (tightvncserver) between a laptop computer and a RPi B.

?

The RPi B and the laptop are my 11 yr old granddaughter's who lives in Cyprus.

?

I have just bought her the B and the problem is that she does not have easy access to a hdmi tv and would prefer to use her laptop with the RPi.

?

We can readily identify the IP addresses but the laptop and RPi don't want to talk to each other. Obviously I must be doing something wrong.

?

Is there surefire way of doing it?

?

I now have a RPi B+ myself and hope to utilise it in amateur related activities.

Hi Stan, just to kick the discussion off ....is this a firewall problem??
To use the desktop I used xdrp on the Pi?and remote desktop connection from windows pc (see previous posts to the group)
For the commane line interface / terminal, I used SSH with PuTTY on the PC
Both work fine here with W7 but not sure about 8

Thank you for your very prompt response Alan.

You have given me something to work on. I will have to find the previous posts that you referred to and emulate?a setup with my RPi B+ before passing the info over to my granddaughter.It sounds?like VNC setup is a well trodden path although it doesn't seem to be in the files.

If you are using linux, you can use ssh -X (pi hostname or IP address ) ?and run the pi's X-Windows session on your linux PC.

The X-Windows runs better on a PC than it does on the pi. ?

I mention this because if you are planning on using VNC on MS-Windows?

Stan, like Alan I use xrdp also.
XRDP is much easier to setup then VNC but as Alan said make sure you setup SSH so you can use PuTTY or some other terminal program to remotely administer the Pi.

Stan, there is a program called 'xming X Server for Windows' that will allow you accomplish what John mentioned. You can use it with putty to ssh in and grab a x11 session. Here is a link to a pdf that will help you if you choose this route.


As far as your initial question there is some documentation here:

At the bottom of the link you can select the operating system you are trying to connect from and it will go into further detail.

There is also another video output available on your version of the pi with use of a 3.5mm four pole plug to three RCA cable.

Hope this helps and best of luck,

Many thanks for the information Scott I will give it a try. It seems that I am going to be busy.


Thanks to all of you who responded with most helpful advice.
