Issue with HDMI output... Not the same as VNC?

Sun Mar 31, 2013 5:13 pm

Hello all,

I have a weird issue (well, to me...).
I cannot display the correct screen on my screen: I got the setup blue screen on the monitor while VNC shows me the raspberry home page...
What is going on?
In addition, the blue screen is not displayed everytime. It is the best result I have: nothing or blue screen.

Anyone has an idea in order to fix it?

Thanks for helping a newbie ;)

The "VNC screen" layout will depend upon which VNC server you're using on the Pi - eg. "tightvncserver", "x11vncserver" (There are probably others). I've used tightvnc methods based upon the guide(s) in the wiki (http://elinux.org/RPi_Guides).
Not sure what you mean by the "setup blue screen" - the only one I can think of is that for the "raspi-config" utility which runs (once) on "first boot" from a newly-installed SD card image. But that assumes you're running "Wheezy Raspbian" of course. That, unless you've modified boot preferences, boots into "fullscreen terminal/command-line mode" (text only) with a black background. the "startx" command is then used to invoke a GUI desktop usually with a large raspberry :-) .
So, what OS are you using?
Can you post any screenshots?
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

Hello,

Sorry, I understand it seems confusing.
Yes indeed, it is the raspi-config screen.

I use putty in order to launch a VNC connection with the PI (tightvnc as well), where the wheezy raspian is installed. I can use Midori or the file manager, no problem.
The Pi is connected on my tv screen. I control it from my other computer.

But reading you makes me think that I didn't fulfilled the setup step maybe!
