This guide describes how to connect ROCK Pi via VNC. Here we use ROCK Pi 4 with Ubuntu system image.

Install VNC server on your ROCK Pi 4

Install VNC server

   sudo apt-get install xrdp

Run the VNC server followed by setting password

   sudo vncserver

Edit the config file

   sudo vim ~/.vnc/xstartup

Change the contents to:

   #!/bin/sh
   unset SESSION_MANAGER
   unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
   [ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
   [ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
   vncconfig -iconic &
   xfce4-session &

Restart the vncserver and xrdp

   sudo vncserver -kill :1                                        #Kill the vncserver process
   sudo vncserver                                                     #Restart the vncserver
   sudo service xrdp restart                                 #Restart the xrdp
