VNC is a technology that lets you see and control KanoOS from another device, just like you would do it sitting in the front of the RaspberryPi.

x11vnc is used on this app.

GUI

This is an example of how it works from GUI:

  1. Launch VNC server (accessible from Apps)

  1. Select a password (6 to 8 characters long)

  1. Now the server is running. Make a note of you ip address

  1. Go into another device (PC, Mac, laptop, tablet, smartphone...) and open a VNC client

  2. Introduce the details

  1. You are connected! A notification will be displayed in KanoOS

Command line

kano-vnc can also be executed from the command line. These are the possible arguments

  • status: print the status of the vnc server
  • start: initiate the server
  • stop: stop the server
  • switch: if the server is running then stop it, otherwise start it
  • clients: list all the clients connected to the VNC server
