I tried this already but i can't vnc when berry boot menu is showing .

In my cmdline.text there is that :

Code: Select all

elevator=deadline quiet bootmenutimeout=25 datadev=mmcblk0p2 qmap=fr vncinstall ipv4=192.168.1.17/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1 vncinstall ipv4=192.168.1.17/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1/wlan0
I put 2x times the vncinstall command in case i wanna use my rpi in wifi .
In my etc/dhcp.conf i put this :

Code: Select all

# on the server to actually work.
option rapid_commit

# A list of options to request from the DHCP server.
option domain_name_servers, domain_name, domain_search, host_name
option classless_static_routes
# Most distributions have NTP support.
option ntp_servers
# Respect the network MTU.
# Some interface drivers reset when changing the MTU so disabled by default.
#option interface_mtu

# A ServerID is required by RFC2131.
require dhcp_server_identifier

# Generate Stable Private IPv6 Addresses instead of hardware based ones
slaac private

# A hook script is provided to lookup the hostname if not set by the DHCP
nohook lookup-hostname
interface eth0

static ip_address=192.168.0.17/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

interface wlan0

static ip_address=192.168.0.17/24
static routers=192.168.1.1
static domain_name_servers=192.168.1.1

I dont know what i did wrong and when i plug off my raspberry then plug in , i try to vnc connect , it says unencrypted connection with a black screen then the vnc client says connection lost .
Then when i try again to vnc , it says connection refused so i go in Putty to connect in ssh and guess what raspbian is already started .

I would like to be able to modify Os and all others things in the berryboot menu , headless .

Sorry for my bad english :roll:
