Remote Desktop at Raspberry PI


so if you who wanted remote desktop at Raspberry Pi. there is possible to do that which be will describe in this article. remote desktop allowed us to remote by GUI Raspberry Pi like picture at above. Remote desktop on Raspberry Pi used for you who know how look about GUI Raspbian at Raspberry Pi if you dont have monitor. so let's do that.

the first we do is access terminal Raspberry Pi with remote as ssh. if you dont know about remote ssh, you can read my article before at my link setup wifi and ssh and also raspberry pi have access internet.

Following steps that friends need to follow to configure Raspberry PI via terminal:

1. Install VNC Server on Raspberry Pi

to install VNC server we just need to type the following command in the terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

sudo apt-get update is used to update the repository list. while on the next line is a command to install VNC Server. if any question do you want Continue Y / n? answer with Y and enter

2. Run VNC Server on Raspberry PI

make sure the install process runs perfectly without any error. after VNC Server is installed it needs to run. to run it can by typing the following command in the terminal.

vncserver

when first run, then we are prompted to create a password to enter Raspberry PI via Remote Desktop VNC from another computer.

You will require a password to access your desktops.

Password:

enter a password that you can easily remember, then press enter

then input the password again to verify.

then there will be a question whether the need for a password for view-only, you  may fill Y or n
when finished then there will be notification as follows:


New 'X' desktop is raspberrypi: 1

 
Creating default startup script /home/pi/.vnc/xstartup

Starting applications specified in /home/pi/.vnc/xstartup

Log file is /home/pi/.vnc/raspberrypi:1.log

this means that vncserver is already running on port 1.

3. install VNC Client on Computer / Laptop

to remote we need to use VNC Client application one of them you can use application from TightVNC at the following address:


there are two options for both 64-bit and 32-bit versions. after the download and then install.

when the prosess install in the Choose Type select Type select with Custom then for TightServer in select Entire Feature will be unavailable. because all we need is an application viewer.

after successfully install. friends can try it directly, open the TightVNC Viewer app on the remote host field input Raspberry IP PI follow with ": 1" example eg Raspberry IP PI 192.168.1.13 then when the remote host 192.168.1.13:1

then click Connect then will appear field for the password, you can input password that you make when first configure VNC Server in Raspberry PI. then click OK

when successful will pop up windows for Raspbian Raspbian Raspberry PI display.

so much sharing from me hopefully useful :)
