<![CDATA[SSH remote desktop access only shows black screen]]>Hey guys

So @sdetweil helped me a lot to set my project up. He also helped me get access via Bitvise SSH client running.
However, even if the “remote desktop” function does apply something, the only thing I see is a black screen with the IP on top.
Ive read some topics about it, but nothing really led me to a solution - can you help me out here?

So I activated vnc via command and installed a vnc app - works great. Thanks for your help

You have to enable or install other system tools on the MagicMirror system to use that kind of service

Realvnc if you active this interface on raspi-config
This works great since years

There ist not something like RemoteDesktop on a Raspberry Pi per default.
I would recommend “Raspberry Pi Connect” - easy to setup and for basic usage totally fine.
