remote desktop

Jan 05, 2014 3 Replies

Hi all,



Can any one recommend a solution to this problem.



I have one of my Pis set up to boot into the GUI desktop as user pi and start a program. (In this case vuze but others will be added later).



The Pi is connected to a TV via HDMI so I can see the program's progress.



However there is no keyboard or mouse connected to the PI as I normally communicate with it via ssh.



While this gives me access to a new command line session, or a new desktop if I use ssh -X I am unable to control the existing desktop.



Just like when I use Remmina and xrdp - always a new desktop.



I would really like to be able to control the existing running desktop.



Any suggestions? Thanks

Yeah, vnc does this ("connect to :0"). The information is out there but still a bitch to set up if you're new to it, in my experience.

"x11vnc"

You will have to read the manual.
