Can NOMone Desktop support remote desktop or remote shell for convenience of development on a large remote display?

Is remote desktop or remote shell possible in to NOMone Desktop Ubuntu possible?
I tried xrdp, which installed but did not start.

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve. Let's say you want to access your NOMone Desktop instance from another machine using SSH. This is definitely possible. First, install ssh:

Code: Select all

apt update && apt install ssh

Next, we'll have to configure ssh. You have to bear in mind that in Android, all ports <= 1024 are reserved for the system. SSH uses port 22 by default. We have to change that:

Code: Select all

gedit /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Find the the option "Port". Give it a value > 1024, like 2200 for instance. Next, find these other options:

• PermitRootLogin
• PasswordAuthentication
• PermitEmptyPasswords

And configure them according to your needs. Once you are done, start/restart the ssh server:

Code: Select all

service ssh restart

Now from your other machine, ssh into your NOMone Desktop instance:

Code: Select all

ssh root@<your device up> -p 2200

That's it for ssh. If you are looking for other types of remote connections, as far as I know, they should all work like they would on a normal PC. We've made a small video about how to use NoVNC to connect to your device:


We've also tested X11vnc and it works without problems. As for xrdp, I'm sure all it takes is some configuration to get it running. I'll look into it and get back to you if Allah wills.

Many thanks for your comprehensive reply. So far, after resetting the root password, I've been able to ssh into Nomone Desktop Ubuntu via:
1) another Ubuntu machine terminal window
2) Using Putty 0.81 on Windows 11 Home

I’m glad to hear that everything worked out well for you :_)
