Raspberry pi

  • Download image

  • plug into the pi.

Automatic Discovery

Avahi can be installed for automatic discovery:

sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon

Then you should be able to connect to the rpi through its hostname

ssh pi@raspberrypi.local

Remote display with VNC

Install vncserver on RPI:

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

Launch vncserver:

vncserver :1 -name RasPi -depth 16 -geometry 1368x768

Start VNC server at boot

Create a script in /etc/init.d:

sudo nano /etc/init.d/vncserver

With this content:

#! /bin/sh
# /etc/init.d/vncserverd

### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:		vncserver
# Required-Start:	$remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:	$remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:	2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:		0 1 6
# Short-Description:	VNC server
### END INIT INFO

VNCUSER='pi'

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting vncserver..."
                su $VNCUSER -c '/usr/bin/vncserver :1 -name RasPi -depth 16 -geometry 1368x768'
                echo -n "Starting VNCServer for $VNCUSER [OK]"
                ;;
        stop)
                echo -n "Stoping vncserver..."
                su $VNCUSER -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :1'
                echo -n "[OK]"
                ;;
        restart)
                $0 stop
                sleep 5
                $0 start
                ;;
	*)
	echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/vncserverd {start|stop}"
	exit 1
	;;
esac

exit 0

Then give the credentials and update-rc :

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vncserverd
sudo update-rc.d vncserverd defaults
