![]() Below the Remote Desktop section, enable Allow remote connections to this computer. ![]() Click Allow remote access below the System section. You can use this procedure for remote access to most any Linux/Unix machine (even a cloud one) as long as you know the commands to start the desktop you prefer (like startlxde). Step 1: Enable Windows Remote Desktop Connections on the Windows machine that will serve as the host for the shared remote desktop. This feature has been in most flavors of Linux for -Decades- now, but the kind folk at Raspberry have disabled this in their startlxde-pi. I use startlxde (the X-client) on the remote (and all my Pis), because unlike startlxde-pi, I get multiple desktop work-spaces without duplicate hardware and monitors and such, even within the remote display. Or Search 'remote' in start (Windows 7) Or 'remote' in search box in Windows 8. Windows comes standard with a Remote Desktop client (mstsc.exe you can start it from a command prompt, or find the shortcut to Remote Desktop under Accessories). Then in the xterm terminal display, I run (with appropriate IP): $ ssh -XfC exec startlxde or $ ssh -XfC exec startlxde-pi This launches the remote PI's desktop normally, as an X-client, but rather than displaying (serving) it on the remote Pi's X-server/hardware (which may be disabled), the Local machine uses it's hardware and CPU to run the X-server and render the image of the desktop, at local resolution, freeing the tiny remote Pi from doing all the work (Pi's Xserver redering on Pi's hardware, then vnc capturing that and sending it to the local machine, and locally rendering that yet again for you to see). On the computer that will remotely control your Ubuntu machine, start you RDP client. On local Debian or Pi, I run: $ Xephyr -ac -screen 1728x972 -br -host-cursor -reset -terminate :3.0 & $ xterm -display :3.0 & This starts up a local X-11 server (Xephyr) on port :3.0, with an xterm in it. Locally run the Xephyr (or Putty) x-server application. I can even configure the remote Pi to boot headless through raspi-config, and still have a full local image of a remote 'desktop'. The following details should be configured: Server: The IP address and port of the VNC server you wish to connect to. NOTHING to install on the remote Pi (I generally purge realvnc). Click on New to open the Remote Desktop Preference pane. ![]() From a local Linux machine (my Debian PC) or another local Pi, I use Xephyr (apt-get install xserver-xephyr). With that you don't need to install anything on the PI (It after all has X-11). Putty used to have Xterminal (a wrapper for Cygwin's Xterminal).
