Python: setting remote view in Raspberry Pi

In the Raspberry Pi box


Installing tightvncserver.

sudo apt-get install tightvncserver

Set it up at port #1. One can type in any other ports as long as not conflicting with other open ports.

sudo vncserver :1 -geometry 1920x1080 -depth 24


If you do not know your IP address just do "ifconfig" and look for the ip address because you are going to need this later.

ifconfig|grep inet


In another box, (I have an Ubuntu in this case) install 




sudo apt-get install xtightvncviewer

To run it simply type in the following

xtightvncviewer <IP>:port


Example: xtightvncviewer 192.168.1.123:1



Other easier option would be to download VNCViewer from Google Chrome Web Store.
