LE11 and VNC?

Johannes · March 8, 2023 at 9:38 AM

I have upgraded to the LE11 Generic-x86_64 version, all addons are updated and running well. But wen I try to connect from my desktop to the LE with TigerVNC running, I get the message "Computer refused connection". Is VNC not possible anymore to the new graphic stack ? Any other solution for remote desktop connection ?

Thanks for your excellent work!

Not possible because VNC requires a Windowing system and in the GBM/V4L2 world we run directly on the DRM framebuffer without any kind of Windowing environment. You can crossgrade to the Generic-Legacy image which still uses Xorg, but no HDR there (if using kit that can support that). This is not technically a bug (everything working as designed) and it will be non-trivial to 'fix' so I wouldn't expect to see any progress anytime soon.

I see, so lets go with all the other advantages.....

Thanks!

Are there any alternative options for remote access to the GUI, or is VNC pretty much all there is?

None.
