![]() ![]() Sudo apt-get install realvnc-vnc-server -y I had to install VNC Server as well which I did with this command: I have no idea how long it took to install but it was done when I checked later. This was quite a large download at over 600Mb so I just started it going and left it running for a few hours. Fortunately, it’s possible to add the GUI from the command line with the following commands: In order to use VNC, there needs to be a GUI installed. I do everything on a Pi via the terminal rather than the GUI. ![]() Generally when I set up a Pi, I build it using the ‘Lite’ version which doesn’t include various features, most noticeably the graphical user interface (GUI). This was easy enough on the Windows 10 PC but not quite so easy on the Raspberry Pi. Install Viewer on your home computer and log in using your account details and the remote computer appears in your address book. The process is quite straightforward – Head to the VNC site and create an account, install Server on the system you want to control and and log in using your account details. You install Server on the computer you want to control and Viewer on the computer you want to use to take control. I looked into various different options to replace TeamViewer with and settled on VNC Connect which consists of two products, VNC Viewer and VNC Server.

However I was wrong as the “5 minutes” they claim is wrong. ![]() I don’t generally need to do much remote work for the two sites and I figured that I could probably manage to do what I needed in five minute sessions so I didn’t worry too much. The web site says that I should receive an answer within seven days but a search of the TeamViewer support forums produced a thread where people have been waiting over a month for a response and even if they accept the explanation, it’s not uncommon for it to get grumpy again and revert back to being time limited. TeamViewer Commercial Use messageĬlicking the More info button took me to the TeamViewer web site where I was able to complete a form explaining that we’re not using it commercially. It worked perfectly well until the following message appeared. Up until recently, I used TeamViewer to connect to these computers because they’re linked to the internet via a cellular connection and therefore behind a CGNAT so port forwarding isn’t possible. We have a Linux server running our D-STAR repeater, a Windows 10 PC running our SSTV repeater and a Raspberry Pi as an ADS-B receiver. Technically this isn’t directly about amateur radio although there is a sort of radio connection.Īs part of my involvement with the Martello Tower Group, I look after some equipment at two of our remote sites. ![]()
