My goal is to access my raspberry pi 4 remotely after turning it on. I learnt about VNC and tried it using raspi-config in a terminal window. It worked perfectly. The only problem I’m facing is, I have to do this again every time I reboot the system. Is there a way to permanently enable VNC so that I don’t have to enable it every time I switch it on?

The only post question to mine that I found in the archive is this. It didn’t help.

    You should only have to enable it once. Has your micro sd card failed and gone read only? Which OS are you using?

    You have not included any details in your question. The Pi4 has no display without a monitor.

  • @CoderMike thank you, it was indeed ON. I got mislead by the way in which the configuration menu was displayed.

You probably started the VNC service by hand, either by starting the vnc server directly or via sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service.

To make it permanent, starting the vnc server via the configuration menu raspi-config should have done it, but via

sudo systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service

you can do it manually from the CLI.

    The OP has already stated that raspi-config was used.
