21 VNC
Usage
Login on the NI Linux RT system with SSH (must be activated via MAX). To do this on Windows start the Command Prompt or the Power Shell and execute the following command (SSH is available on actual Win10 installations). Alternateivly one can use an external program like Putty.
ssh admin@<ip-adress or hostname>
admin is the default administration account on NI Linux RT systems and has full root-privileges. So, be careful what you do!
When logged in start the VNC-server with the following command.
DISPLAY=:0 x11vnc
Now the server is running and one can connect to it with a standard VNC-client. We prefer the free program UltraVNC. A username and a password is not necessary with the default configuration.
Installation
To install a VNC server on Linux RT follow these instructions:
Install it with:
opkg update opkg install x11vnc
Run it with:
DISPLAY=:0 x11vnc
Debugging
Screen Size
If the window which the VNC client presents is too small (i.e. the resolution too low), you can try the following command:
xrandr -d :0 --fb 1600x1200
