VNC login in Console

Sat Feb 03, 2018 2:42 am

Hi guys,

I use my Raspberry Pi 3 only in console (no GUI). but for my problem i will attache a screenshot.

when i launch the commande "vncserver :1" in the console, it seems that it start the service in virtual mode. So im not able to login to my VNC account in virtual mode (no option)

So how can i log into my VNC Server account (VNC cloud team) directly from the console ?
my target will be to controle my raspberry outside the network, but to stay in console mode.

Thank for your help

To get the "virtual mode" working you have to run VNC as a service.

Open an LXTerminal window. Run sudo raspi-config. Choose option 5 "interfacing" from the main menu, choose option P3 "VNC" from the sub-menu. It should start straight away, it'll definitely start on the next reboot.
