So you have that new Raspberry Pi all set up with Raspbian and you to use it you have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Maybe you share this keyboard and mouse with another computer (like me) or maybe you have the Raspberry Pi hidden in a console (again, like me) and it's difficult to plug in your devices.
OK, here is a solution so simple it is unreal.
Plug in that keyboard and mouse for the last time OR SSH to your Raspberry Pi (you do have SSH set up right?), open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
If you did not SSH in then you will need to run this command also to get the ip address of the Raspberry Pi:
ifconfig eth0
Note the IP address.
For LInux:
Install the following:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
then run
rdesktop (IP address of your Raspberry Pi)
then at the Login to xrdp:
User name of your Raspberry Pi
Password of your Raspberry Pi
Profit!
Non-Linux:
windoze-
start remote desktop and enter IP address then follow Login to xrdp steps above.
fruit systems-
try installing this: http://cord.sourceforge.net/ and then connect to the Raspberry Pi as above.
Or, you can install tightvnc.

I haven't used that one, is it just as easy to set up?

Easy as PI.
I don't like the raspi with desktop environmdent, it's laggy (more with vnc). ssh ftw!
Overclock it!

For X Window apps, the best way to run is ’ssh -X [email protected]_IP’.
Of course we need an X server running, but I’m a linux user.
You just solved a bit problem for me
Actually two.
1. As I do not have a TV or monitor with HDMI input, I had to use this converter for VGA and the display is crappy. The very first thing I do on such RPi is enabling SSH. But from now on, all I have is SSH. I now have much better to work and mnage my RPi's. COOL !!!!!
2. I was also having an issue with my virtual servers, one of which hosts an install of the Android development tools. So far, I was using NX to connect, but since some version of Ubuntu, I could not start an Android VM remotely. Some missing modules, or configuration. I hated this. I was using NX for a long time now. This xrdp seems to work fine. I installed it on a test machine with Android SDK stuff, and voila !! I can start the virtual Android machine no problem.
Great info !!!!!!!
@marty331: Thanks lot

I have a similar problem, except that I share my monitor with my son and his Raspberry Pi. Both of us are building and programming different robots using the RPi and arduino controllers. So I get very little time at the actual keyboard. I did something similar except I am using tightvnc on the RPI and then Remote Ripple on my Nexus 10 and Kyocera phone and then tightvnc java viewer on my windows laptop (if I ever use it, mostly just a cloud print server) . The Nexus 10 being the main computer I use along with my RPi. Full GUI of my RPi Xwindow or SSH shell account on the RPI. (if you can do it on the RPi, you can do it on your nexus! (except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)

metaled222,
Looks like youv'e done your homework! Great job on getting all that together!
Hello I'm pretty new at this. I am working on a new raspberry pi project. I am running kodi on my pi and also Advance Launcher to play games. My questions is where do I find the emulators to play NES, SNES MAME etc. for the raspberry pi. I don't want to use Retropi or anything like that. I want it to run on Advanced Launcher. Any help would be great. I have looked at a lot of emulators website but most of them are for Windows or Mac etc. If anyone know please help.

Hi I'm also new to this (havent got my zero Pi set up yet!), is the below link any good, it seems to describe setting up emulators with action launcher via kodi?
Ive used kodi for video only, but will definitely be looking at doing this on the Pi.

Hi,
I am using Nvidia Shiled TV and want to install any office suit so that I can do my basic Documentation and Spreadsheet work on the Big Screen.
Please suggest the way I can do the same.
Thanks In Advance.
Hello, I need some help!
I have a raspberry pi 3 model, with the raspbian OS installed, and i'm trying to make GUI menu with some buttons, and when i click it will start applications installed on the raspbian, like Kodi, Libre Office and others or a page browser.
But the problem is that I can't make it. I already tried the Glade and the Python but that doesn't allow me to do what I really want.
Does anyone know such a program?
Thanks
Hello,
Has anyone been able to make VNC / RDP on NST usable for text editing? I know it's not practical, since we are limited by the protocol, e-ink refresh, and the 800x600 resolution, but I just wanted to see if it can be done. With NoRefresh on, I've tried:
Clients apps for 2.1+:
AndroidVNC
RemoteVNC Pro
PocketCloud RDP and VNC
Remote Ripple
Servers:
I've tried x11vnc and xrdp on Linux, built-in screen sharing and vine-server on macOS, and RDP on Windows.
The most usable combo seems to be vine-server on macOS at 800x600 and Remote VNC on nook, as the mouse and keyboard are less delayed, but there's still ~1-2 sec of latency which seems to be normal. I can't really test out RDP fully because I don't have a keyboard and mouse on my Nook. but based on the performance of the on-screen mouse and keyboard, it doesn't seem to be any better.
Here are some threads about it:
NST as computer display (VNC)
VNC on NST
Maybe something useful here?
Nook Simple Touch Tweaked to run Linux Distros
Running Backtrack 5 ontop of android system. Attempting to get xserver to run. So that I don't have to use vncviewer!
hackaday.io
Thanks. I can get it to work as a vnc viewer, but I was wondering if there's any other solution that could decrease the latency. All of the apps like Splashtop, USB Mobile Monitor, etc require updated versions of Android so I guess this is the best that can be done.
