I use Fedora 23 ARM on a Raspberry Pi 2, with Xfce as a desktop environment. I want to install RealVNC. Can you help me ?

  • Do you particularly need RealVNC, or will any VNC do? Are you looking for a client or a server?

  • You can play omxplayer remotely with the RealVNC server which is installed by default in Raspbian. You simply enable it from the Raspberry Pi Configuration app, and you should see the VNC icon appear in the top right to show it's running. If you click on this icon, go to Options > Troubleshooting and enable "experimental direct capture mode", this will allow you to capture directly-rendered screen content, such as that displayed by omxplayer.

  • Ah, I see. You need RealVNC's experimental and proprietary "direct connect" feature.

For most use, you could use TigerVNC, which is open source and available in Fedora.

The "experimental direct capture" RealVNC feature you want, however, is only included in the proprietary RealVNC software. There is a download available, but for ARM only for Debian currently. (See https://www.realvnc.com/download/vnc/raspberrypi/). They make RPMs, but only for x86. You might have success in asking RealVNC nicely to make a Fedora version.

Or, you could download the .deb and convert to rpm using alien. (I don't know how this fits with their licensing terms, so, mind that.)

  • Yeah, alien doesn't always translate that stuff well. You might try the "nodeps" flag to rpm and see what happens.
