I installed REALVNC VNC(R) Server 6.2.0 (r29523) ARMv6 (Aug 3 2017 18:32:53) in my Pi 3b board. The VNC server can not auto start when Pi reboot. I have to type the command " vncserver" to start VNC server, after that I can connect Pi from my PC through the VNC viewer.
In menu Preferences > Raspberry Pi Configuration > Interfaces, SSH and VNC are set to Enabled.
Run the command sudo raspi-config, and navigate to Advanced Options, there is no option of VNC.
This is installing the x11vnc and run at boot, which is what I use as I had a lot of problems with RealVNC.
Install and set stored password
- sudo apt-get install x11vnc
- x11vnc -storepasswd
create autostart entry
- cd ~
- cd .config
- mkdir autostart
- cd autostart
- sudo nano x11vnc.desktop
paste following text:
