VNC/WiFI

John All Messages By This Member #1938 Will the raspberry pi work with vnc on a wifi dongle or must the RPi be connected via either net cable? Also, anyone know of a good site to reference setting up port forwarding on apple router/time capsule for vnc? I am having difficulty setting it up. I can't get into the RPi from my IPad and I believe that's why.... John N0MEQ
John All Messages By This Member #1941 VNC works fine for me but I doubt I could set up the configuration to boot to it without a local keyboard first. There are only a few wifi dongles that are supported at this time. ADAFRUIT is one vendor that offers a supported device. toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 6/29/2013 1:06 PM, John wrote: Will the raspberry pi work with vnc on a wifi dongle or must the RPi be connected via either net cable? -- John Ferrell W8CCW "The pessimist complains about the wind; The optimist expects it to change; The realist adjusts the sails."

William A. Ward Everything I've done on the Pi has been performed remotely because I don't posses a suitable monitor. I gave the Pi a fixed IP address by reading/writing the SD card in another Linux machine (my primary operating system at home). Initial setting up was with Ethernet to be able to "apt-get" the tools I needed to set up the wifi for the remote installation. I've had a number of installations (besides the Pi) where Network Manager has not allowed me to set up wifi so I automatically go to wicd these days. Wicd has the added advantage of a graphical interface in a console. The two usb dongles I've used are the TP-Link 721 and a Realtek 8189 copy. Both worked fine via a powered USB hub. I did have concerns about the wifi link failng for no apparent reason. - sometimes as soon as a few hours and sometimes as long as ten days. I implemented the "fixes" that were to be found on the Internet but nothing I did fixed the problem. If web pages are any guide I'm far from the only person with this issue. Because I needed 24/7/365 reliability I retired the Pi from aprs gateway service. I may have had better reliability with Ethernet but I can't get a cable to where the Pi was located. I still think the Pi is a brilliant device but not in my application for it. BTW, I did initially uses VNC, activated via a ssh link from Putty but for convenience I moved to xrdp. However, 99% of my interaction with the Pi was via a console. Ray vk2tv

You are welcome to a copy of the image, several on the group have used it. It was project for my school IT dept, so they could access the R Pi's via the Network using VNC from PCs and iPads. You will have to add the config for your 'dongle' but, if you use one those which are R Pi compatible, they drivers etc. are there and it is virtually self configuing. Drop me an Email and I will send you a Dropbox link for the file etc. It is set up for an 8G SD card. 73 Brian G8OSN/W8OSN www.g8osn.net

John All Messages By This Member #1953 I have a nib TP-Link 821 that I would try if I could figure out where to start. Where/how should I go about looking for the software side of things? toggle quoted message Show quoted text On 6/29/2013 7:18 PM, Ray Wells wrote: The two usb dongles I've used are the TP-Link 721 and a Realtek 8189 copy -- John Ferrell W8CCW "The pessimist complains about the wind; The optimist expects it to change; The realist adjusts the sails."

Ray Wells All Messages By This Member #1955 开云体育 Your dongle appears to function OOTB with the Pi so that's a good start. In my case, even though the 721 was recognised by the Pi and supposed to work OOTB, network-manager would not allow me to configure it so I installed wicd. sudo apt-get install wicd wicd-curses .... apt will also mark dependencies for installation. I removed network-manager sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-manager-gnome Call up wicd-curses to configure. If your 821 is "alive" your local wifi network (and others in range) should be listed. For a dynamic ip address you'll just need to provide ssid and password. It "should" be that easy. wicd has a number of options such as "Refresh". That option is accessed with an upper case "R". The Config option appears to need -> but in reality it need the right arrow.
