Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello! Linux newbie here, I bought the RPi and am hoping to learn some linux using it (RPi) as an excuse. I needed to control the Raspberry Pi remotely and so, following this little guide (http://www.raspberrypiblog.com/2012/10/ ... -from.html), was able to do so. I have a problem, however - whenever I exit a remote desktop session and re-enter, I'm given a brand new desktop! My old windows and applications aren't visible anymore (though, judging by the processing activity monitor of the RPi, they are running). Could someone please guide me as to how to go around this? I have to monitor a set of windows and applications from time to time, sometimes at days' distance, so I need to somehow access the same desktop as from the last visit (unless of course I unpowered the Raspberry Pi somewhere in the middle).

Can't you just minimize the Remote Desktop window on your WIndows machine? If you are actually exiting the Pi GUI then whatever you were doing is terminated when you exit.

x11vnc is capable of sharing the physical desktop :0
AFAIK.
