How forwarding the whole desktop trough ssh / X11 ? [ solved ]

Hi,

I'm able to launch individual GUI application trough ssh like

ssh -X pi@192.168.0.1
thunar

and it work fine.

I would like to launch the whole desktop (like pointed here https://www.xmodulo.com/remote-control- … ry-pi.html )

but nothing that I tried works... what would be the best way to achieve this ? system is devuan

Thanks.

Install remmina with the VNC plugin to your Linux (Devuan) client (available for most Linux distros). Install the x11vnc server to the host (in your case the rasp pi). Use the information in the link below substituting appropriately.
