Before the rest of this gist is useful, you've got to get your Raspberry Pi on the network. I followed the information from the Adafruint Learning System Raspberry Pi tutorials, which can be found at http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-3-network-setup.
The two files that are most important are
/etc/network/interfaces(for network interface config)/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf(for WiFi config)

steps: install and set password
- sudo apt-get install x11vnc
- x11vnc -storepasswd
create autostart entry
-
cd .config
-
mkdir autostart
-
cd autostart
-
nano x11vnc.desktop
-
paste following text:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Application Name=X11VNC Comment= Exec=x11vnc -forever -usepw -display :0 -ultrafilexfer StartupNotify=false Terminal=false Hidden=false -
save and exit (Ctrl-X, Y, )
-
First run “sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon”.
-
Next, make sure it runs at startup, enter “sudo update-rc.d avahi-daemon defaults”.
-
Create a configuration file containing information about the server. Run “sudo nano /etc/avahi/services/afpd.service”*
-
Enter (or copy/paste) the following:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*--> <!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"> <service-group> <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name> <service> <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type> <port>548</port> </service> </service-group> -
Press ctrl and x to exit, then press y to to save changes and return after confirming the location.
-
Restart Avahi: “sudo /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon restart”
Why is x11vnc necessary and what if you already installed tightvncserver and xrdp?
