Taskbar/Menu is missing using RDP
January 7, 2024, 03:13
sorry just confused, what do you mean by rdp?
RDP is the windows name (Remote Desktop Protocol).
Assuming you're using VNC? or is there an RDP package that you can install to make it work with RDP?
do you have an actual display for testing?
I am not OP
oh yeah sorry
I rarely look at names lol
<@118810952530395136> do you have a display for testing?
using xrdp, pretty much followed a tutorial on how to do it
I have used my other monitor plugged in via HDMI and that displays it
it does pop up for a second and then disappears somewhere
ok my first suspicion is Resolution/ratio
oh nvm then
hmm
have you tried looking for any of these?
it does seem like it is trying to fit the screen into the window but removes the bar
seen VNC mentioned in a few places but unsure what this is
VNC is al alternative remote control software
to me it just means a better version of what your using lol
I mean headless all the way anyway
ah, I will give it ago now and see if that helps
ok great
any suggestions or links?
real vnc is the most popular
the server is built into the Raspberry Pi OS, i think you can turn it on with raspconfig
or whatever the command is
rasp-config?
realvnc is what i use, then it's add the ip/hostname and join just like RDP
it doesn't seem like there's much good competition for it. I tried looking. tight vnc seems good but it looks like real vnc is winning
*sudo raspi-config
any free ones as realvnc is a little costly?
there is a free version
nope it's free
also you need to enable it on the pi first
I just see "start trial"
will do
go to this to download https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer
then on your pi type in sudo raspi-config and go down to interfaces then enable vnc. now press back and then finish
use the arrow keys and enter to select stuff
then finally run hostname -I and type this into the vnc search bar and follow the steps to connect
perfect, works as intended.
Image quality is a little low like
There is a low/medium/high setting for that
Cheers guys, solved my issue there and I changed the quality 🙂
it's one of those things, trying to make a built-in program for windows work with linux is just not good.
Same with using something that does 3rd party airplay, etc
Better off using a global solution that is written for all platforms
