Note: Setup remote desktop

Writing notes

I do not have a computer monitor and connected therefore my Raspberry Pi to a television. It is impractical to develope on a television. I quickly got a need to connect remotely. It’s also handy later when Raspberry Pi is mounted inside the camera.

Install xrdp

$ sudo apt-get install xrdp

There is no need to do anything else.

Tweaking xrdp

You can tweak the xrdp

$ sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini

Connect from Windows

Connect to the Raspberry Pis IP-adress. By default:
Username: pi
Password: raspberry

Set up keyboard

Since I’m Norwegian I wanted the Norwegian keyboard layout. These commands have to be run directly on the Raspberry Pi (not through remote desktop).

$ setxkbmap -layout no $ sudo xrdp-genkeymap km-0414.ini

Problems with arrows and some characters?

I had some problems with arrows and some characters like @. The sollution was to download a copy of km-0414.ini made by Tomislav Plečko and overwrite my own. You can find it here: http://eurekamoment.eu/?p=144
