Digital Larry 0 Posted March 19, 2022 I have a Tinkerboard running Debian 9 Stretch and finally got it working OK. I use it as a test platform for my company's Linux security software. Now trying Tinkerboard S with the following: Quote linaro@linaro-alip:~$ cat /etc/os-release PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)" NAME="Debian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="10" VERSION="10 (buster)" VERSION_CODENAME=buster ID=debian HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/" linaro@linaro-alip:~$ Quote linaro@linaro-alip:~$ uname -a Linux linaro-alip 4.4.194 #52 SMP Tue Oct 26 08:35:58 UTC 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux linaro@linaro-alip:~$ I've installed XRDP but only get a black screen when connecting. I had the same issue on the Tinkerboard and was able to resolve it following instructions at this page: https://ubuntututorials.org/ubuntu-20-04-xrdp-black-screen/ However, I'm still not getting anything from RDP on this device. I used this article to increase the number of "inotify watches" to 16384 since I kept getting errors related to that. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/13751/kernel-inotify-watch-limit-reached I'm also trying to run tightvnc server but keep getting font errors: Quote linaro@linaro-alip:~$ tightvncserver :1 Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path.

Digital Larry 0 Posted March 19, 2022 I got tightvncserver running after: Quote sudo apt install xfonts-base Logging in using RealVNC Viewer I was able to get Wi-Fi connected. So now I don't care so much about RDP, but if anyone has a suggestion I'd like to hear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
