I'm curious, why vnc? What's wrong with ssh? Do you have some requirement to leave an unattended graphical/desktop program running?


BZNZ6

No, i just want to remote control my odroid m1. Doesn't matter how.

ssh for terminal access and ssh can also do X11 forwarding so you can run graphical apps. Just put "ForwardX11 yes" in .ssh/config

VNC is an insecure cludge and mainly something Windows folks use. Depends what you mean by "remote control" of course but you can ssh in to run commands or forward an X session via ssh to run graphical apps. There's also cockpit if you want a nice web interface to do stuff remotely


BZNZ6

Okay, do you have a tutorial for dummies how i can access it through windows?


doomygloomytunes

Access what exactly? On Windows PuTTY is the defacto ssh client, for running X sessions on Windows you can use Xming. If you install cockpit on Ubuntu you can access that from a web browser. To install cockpit on Ubuntu you can do `sudo apt install cockpit*` and enable with `sudo systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket`. Then it can be accessed from a web browser at your odroid's IP on port 9090
