VNC connection refused

[GE_bill]

I am attempting to connect my pi through VNC.


on the pi
pi@raspberrypi ~* vncserver :1

Starting applications specified in /home/pi/.vnc/xstartup
logfile is

.. Cannot find the font directory
xrdb: No such file or directory
xrdb: Can't open file '/home/pi/.Xresources'

The VNC connection from my laptop is refused.

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks

Which program do you use on your laptop?
Did you specify the correct port on your laptop (should be 5901)?

How do I know which port on my laptop to use? Thank you for the reply

If vncserver is running on :1 that's :1 on the client which maps to port 5901.

Try pointing your (java enabled) browser at http://pi.local:5801

VNC server tells me I am at port 5900 exactly one off. Is that a problem?

Thank you

VNC viewer is running now but as soon as the screen pops up I am not able to click on anything it's just ... there I can't open or do anything. I checked and it is not in view only. I am using the latest version of Rasbian

Thanks

While connecting to vnc viewer remember the below if you are facing any message called "Connection Refused"

when you started the server in raspberry pi as vncserver :1 then :1 is called as display
so in the viewer, you need to enter the ip address:590<display> it means if you have ip address like 10.0.0.58 then in vnc viewer you need to type 10.0.0.58:5901 this 1 is coming from the vncserver :1

This will solve this problem.

if the connection is refused when you enter the right IP address, it means that your VNC interface is disabled. go to menu/rpi-config/interfaces and enable it. Hope it helped
