Hello @marcellom66

You can use xrdp instead.

VNC nor RDP working, help with how to setup on VIM4 Ubuntu 22.04.1

@deepvim sure, I just did: on vim4 #install xrdp sudo apt install xrdp -y #enable xrdp on boot and start now sudo systemctl enable --now xrdp #open Firewall just add your network/cidr below sudo ufw allow from < enter your local network/cidr> to any port 3389 proto tcp #if you want to change any default settings you can do so in /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini on remote system: on windows I use mremoteNG or just the windows rdp to access.

Thank you but I don’t have windows, in the raspberry pi I use RealVNC viewer , Is it possible to use it with my macbook to connect remotely?

[deepvim]

A number of good clients that will use the RDP protocol are available on MacOS, Linux and other platforms. I used the Microsoft Remote Desktop application on MacOS Ventura 13, it is available for free in the Apple App Store.

Less than optimal than having a single VNC or RDP solution across all your servers. Hopefully Khadas will figure out how to get Ubuntu builtin screen sharing to work on VIM4.

Maybe try something simple first, e.g.,

Hello @marcellom66

Can you ssh to the board and execute the command ? And you must logout from the system.

$ vncserver -localhost no :2

[marcellom66]
