Is there any way to make my raspberry-pi to be displayed on my laptop monitor? If so please guide the steps to do so.
Only if you do it via a network
Install tight VNC: sudo apt-get install tightvncserver
Start a VNC session vncserver :1 -geometry 1024x728 -depth 24
Install Tight VNC client on your laptop and connect

I am using Tinker Board and I want remote desktop it from other network. I tried Real VNC and AnyDesk but it don't work. My OS is debian 10, who can help me. Many thanks
You can always use x11vnc as long as your distribution uses Xorg as display server. I'm sure that it does.
Install x11vnc with sudo apt install x11vnc.
Run x11vnc with x11vnc -noxdamage -norepeat -display :0 -rfbport 5900 -shared
I've searched around, but I cannot find an answer.
Can I use my Raspberry Pi as an NTP server (independently).
I want to synchronize 4 devices on a LAN for logging. They will be on a LAN with no WAN access... one is a Cisco Switch, one is the Pi and the other two are conversion boxes I want to log things on (they will be NTP client).
I just need them all to sysnc to 1 clock source (the Pi) is there a way to do this? All the answers I find are either to setup the Pi with a GPS module (which I can't do here) or sync it to external NTP servers for cascading the clock down (which I can't do here)... can I use NTP just to send out the Pi's system time ?
You could but best with a time source.
You would need to edit the code for a NTP server, as there isn't much cause to do this.
Best idea is to use a GPS hat on the RPi

DEAR PEOPLE FROM THE FUTURE: Here's what we've figured out so far...
On your Raspberry Pi, run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ntp
sudo ufw allow ntp # if your firewall is enabled
sudo ufw allow 123
sudo sed --in-place --expression "\$aserver 127.127.1.0" /etc/ntp.conf
sudo systemctl start ntpd
On your Cisco switch, run the following commands:
NOTE - If you are using Cisco IOS, do not forget to force the NTP synchronization using clock read-calendar.
configure terminal
ntp server <the IPv4 address of your Raspberry Pi>
end
clock read-calendar
PS - If you want to shut everything down...
On your Raspberry Pi, run the following commands:
sudo ufw delete allow ntp
sudo ufw delete allow 123
sudo systemctl stop ntpd
sudo sed -i "/server 127.127.1.0/d" /etc/ntp.conf
On your Cisco switch, run the following commands:
configure terminal
no ntp server <the IPv4 address of your Raspberry Pi>
end
I face a problem that I can ping to correct IP address, it have no loss. And also I use nmap ping the pi address, and I get it correctly. Then I using VNC viewer to try access to pi, but it always show up "The connection was refused by the host computer"
Did u all have any idea ?
Your problem indicates that your Raspberry Pi was reached by the connection attempt, but that no service was running on the relevant port and hence the connection was refused. I think, this is because the VNC service is not running on your Raspberry Pi.
Update 1
Raspbian now comes with the server by default thanks to a partnership with RealVNC, it just needs to be enabled.
Original
You must enable VNC Server on your Raspberry Pi using terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install realvnc-vnc-server
or you can also enable VNC Server on the command line using the sudo raspi-config command.
Advanced Options->VNC:Yes
Now you can connect to the VNC Server using a application such as VNC Viewer.
I have been having this issue with my Raspberry Pi Zero W even though it worked perfectly beforehand. This page https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/docs/raspberry-pi.html should help.
I ran vncserver in a ssh window after verifying the interface settings in raspi-config.
It started the VNC Server and gave me the VNC Server catchphrase and the IP address with Port Number as shown in the photo linked below.
vncserver output
After running that command I was able to get the VNC Viewer on my windows machine to connect to the pi.
I then ran sudo systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service in the ssh window so that it would start automatically on subsequent reboots.
I've had this same problem but found a different reason. I found three ways to get around this error message.
Plug a mouse or keyboard into the Raspberry Pi zero, waking up the screen and the VNC connection.
Wait about 5 - 10 minutes which is the amount of time for the screen saver to kick in which seems to wake up VNC connection. but don't wait to long other wise run this command to get things going via ssh "systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service".
I am hoping the new update they just published will fix this problem. I don't see this as much with the Raspi B3+ as with the Zero H.
The last was plug in both monitor and mouse and that for sure fixes the VNC issues but defeats the headless connection. It seems that running headless and the screen/saver are somehow related but just not smart enough to figure it out.
For people using newer version of Raspberry, VNC option is found under:
Config>Interface Options
pinging to any service will only tells us that whether the server is currently listening on that port or not. It will not tell you the possible result to connection request asked by client.
It seems that, you have installed VNC server but not started it properly. Use this command to start it...
# vncserver start
Also recheck the port number is correct or not.
With the Rasp Pi 4 - had connecting fail after rebooting both the server and client (both Rasp Pi 4s).
Took a while to realize that I have two clients: One named "VNC Client", the other "VNC Viewer for Google Chrome".
The former works, the latter doesn't.
I am trying to connect to a remote system which has CentOS running on it from a Windows machine. I am getting the following error:
My remote computer is on and is available on the network. I tried following the steps mentioned on this website http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Remote_Access_to_the_CentOS_6_Desktop to enable remote access on centos as well.
Currently I can access the remote sever through commandline utility like Putty only.
I use VNC for remote GUI admin work on CentOS device's from windows its nice and easy to set up and use, below are links to CentOS 6.5 set up guide and 7
https://www.howtoforge.com/vnc-server-installation-centos-6.5
https://www.howtoforge.com/vnc-server-installation-on-centos-7
Let me know how you get on :)
As posted by PaulM, I followed the steps in the website to install VNCServer on the centos machine.
To connect from my linux machine, I wrote the following commands:
vncviewer
IPAddress:5901
Adding the port number specifically made it work
CentOs to centOs Only
No Need Any Softwares Already Centos have TigerVnc Viewer
1.Enable Remote desktop in your centos system
Goto System-->Preference-->Remote Desktop
**i.Enable allow other user to view your Desktop**
**ii.Enable allow other user to control your Desktop**
**iii.You must confirm each access to this machine allow or cancel**
**iv.if you ask any password to enable and type your password**
Notification Area:
Some one connect your system its enable to shows the icon on top panel.
I have a Pi that runs hostapd and dhcpd on arch linux to create it's own land with the Pi's (routers) IP being 10.0.0.1. This uses the wlan0 interface and it only serves as a standalone router running a web server.
Once I connect to the Pi, I use 10.0.0.1 to display the web pages, but I want to use a hostname such as firepi. I have tried using dnsmasq, but I haven't been successful. Any help would be greatly appreciated especially if you can give me some detailed examples as I am a novice.
The purpose of this system is that I have created a web app that you can use to ignite fireworks over WiFi at a safe distance. I would just like the convenience of using a hostname instead of the IP address.
I must add that I will more than likely be using an iPhone to connect to the server, should this affect anything.
Not too sure how or why but this is what I did and it is successfully working now, so this is just for future users who may need a similar setup to mine.
First I installed hostapd and dhcpd and made sure they were working. Next I changed '/etc/hostname' to firepi and the '/etc/hosts' and added '10.0.0.1 firepi'. Then I installed dnsmasq, and set the interface to wlan0, and finally added '10.0.0.1 firepi' to '/etc/resolv.conf'.
After a full reboot, I joined the network on my iPhone, navigated to firepi and sure enough, it worked!
Thanks to the other users for their advice and tips.
You can use avahi on Arch as well to resolve your hostname:
sudo pacman -S avahi nss-mdns
Start the avahi daemon:
sudo systemctl enable avahi-daemon.service
sudo systemctl start avahi-daemon.service
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
sudo vim /etc/nsswitch.conf
Change the line:
hosts: files myhostname dns
to
hosts: files myhostname mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
Reboot
Note: don't forget to add .local to your hostname.

http://blog.pixxis.be/post/77285636682/resolve-hostname-with-arch-linux-on-a-raspberry-pi
If you just want to be able to use "firepi" as hostname to connect to it, you can simply add it to your /etc/hosts file using the syntax "IP host".
To make it as easy as possible, run this command as root:
echo "10.0.0.1 firepi" >> /etc/hosts
That'll do the trick.
Can you try avahi ?
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon and
sudo apt-get install avahi-browse
I've successfully used that on Raspian. Unless you change the hostname using
sudo raspi-config you will access via raspberrypi.local
Note that if you plan to access the RPi from Windows you will need to install Bonjour Service first(if you have iTunes intalled, you might have those, run services.msc and check if the Bonjour Service is started)
Another note: On a friend's iphone I've installed a generic vnc client and had x11vnc running on the RPi and succesfully managed to connect to the RPi (since avahi-daemon was installed)
