I don't know if it's possible on the Rpi4, but you might try NoMachine as a vnc replacement.

Hi, please Try it in 4K and let me know how you get on...if you have 4K monitor...as I need to run the rpi headless but with 4K across network to my laptop... :)

Unfortunally, I can't work higher the 1920x1080. It is a small package and installing is as simple as sudo apt-get install xrdp. For me it works very well. If your laptop is Windows, you can use the Microsoft remote desktop directly without any additional installation.

Had a look into this and will give it a try later...
I normally use a Linux laptop, but if I can get it to work on my windows machine, then that’s a great start and at least I can use on there for now...thanks.. :)

Hello,

hope you're well.

May I ask - are you attempting to get Stars/Ekos/INDI running on the Pi 4 using the Stellarmate image? I ask because I'm very interested in doing this too.

Any information you can share about this I would be very glad to see.

Clear Skies (Someone has to get them :-) )

Hi,
Yes I have latest Kstars and INdI running on the PI4, but not Stellarmate, that will take a while, but runs well on raspbian buster, also runs now in 4K using XRDP on the pi and Remmina Remote Desktop software on Ubuntu laptop...works really well.. :)

Ok I have found a Remote Desktop software for Ubuntu that works really well with XRDP on the pi, it’s called Remmina, and runs a treat.... :) as good if not better than windows Remote Desktop....

Hi,

thanks for the reply. Sorry, more questions.......

Did you have to compile from source ?
Are you Plate-Solving on the Pi ?
Is buster easy to get hold of ? (Not Pi savvy) Been doing stuff on Arduino.

Grateful if you have time to reply.

Regards,

cas

No, not really, just make sure with the PI4 you keep it as cool as possible while compiling, you need at ,east a heatsink and a fan, I had to put a desk fan over the top also...as it’s runs extremely hot, do the firmware update first, as it will reduce the temp by about 5-7 degrees.. :)
