Now we need to install the xrdp package to the Raspberry Pi. This package will allow remote desktop on your Raspberry Pi. This package will allow remote desktop on your Raspberry Pi. Xrdp is an open-source implementation of Microsoft’s proprietary RDP Server, the same protocol that most installations of Windows can connect to and be connected. 2 Install AnyDesk on your Device.

Raspberry Pi is a low-cost and compact single-board computer as small as size of your palm. Though not powerful enough to perform complex jobs, it is still capable of serving purposes of academic study, hobbyist interest, and very light-weight multi-purpose server.
Once we finished install Raspbian OS on Raspberry Pi, if you like to connect to Raspberry Pi to demo students on how to do something or to control your Raspberry server remotely, then the popular remote desktop software tools listed below are your options:
Teamviewer
#1. On Raspberry’s web browser, open TeamViewer for Linux page and scroll down to TeamViewer Host section.
#2. Click on armv7 32bit under Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian to download TeamViewer.
#3. Once TeamViewer is downloaded, find the package and run it.
#4. Confirm installation by entering admin’s username and password. Following that, there will be a TeamViewer License Agreement.
#5. Once installation completed, run TeamViewer 14 Host from Internet/TeamViewer 14 Host.
Install Anydesk Raspberry Pi Command Line
#6. Upon launching TeamViewer, click on Grant easy access button to proceed TeamViewer ID assignment. This assignment enables you to manage remote desktop connection within your TeamViewer account. Of course, you can skip this and go straight to #9 on making remote desktop connection in the old fashion way of entering TeamViewer ID and password.
#7. Assign the TeamViewer host on Raspberry Pi to your TeamViewer ID. If you do not have an account, then click on Create account to sign up and get one.
#8. Check email that is associated with your TeamViewer account. Click on Add to trusted devices to proceed adding PC, from which you want to connect to Raspberry Pi.
#9. On Raspberry Pi, TeamViewer is displaying a TeamViewer ID. Also, for security reason, create a connection password in Options/Security page.
#10. Enter TeamViewer’s ID on Raspberry Pi on another PC and click on Connect to proceed.
#11. Now, we can connect to Raspberry Pi via TeamViewer remote desktop.
From the beginning till the end, there is no hassle and everything is as smooth as it gets. It is highly recommended.

Anydesk
While TeamViewer being the topmost choice, Anydesk also provides a good alternative since it is free. In case you are banned by TeamViewer for some reason, try Anydesk.
#1. On Raspberry’s web browser, open Anydesk Get Anydesk for Raspberry Pi page.
#2. Click on Download Now button under Download Anydesk.
#3. Once Anydesk is downloaded, find the package and run it.
#4. Confirm installation by entering admin’s username and password.
#5. Run Anydesk from submenu of Internet.
#6. Upon launch, Anydesk is in its standby mode.
#7. In Settings/Security, set password for unattended access.
#8. On another Anydesk client machine, enter Raspberry Pi’s Anydesk ID and password. Then, click on “play” button.
#9. Anydesk remote desktop session established.

Comparing with Raspberry Pi’s built-in VNC, I prefer using TeamViewer or Anydesk because it is faster and UI is more intuitive. With such remote desktop software, remote desktop session will be a lot easier. Then, what is next? Let’s remotely install and configure ownCloud or configure NextCloud server so we can sync contacts, calendar and tasks wherever we go.

Beyond the articles and related comments, we receive in the mailbox of Raspbian France many questions and requests for help!
Among all these questions / requests for help around the Raspberry Pi, there is one that come back very often, “My Raspberry Pi HDMI display not working, how to fix it ?”.
Today we offer you a short tutorial, but that will probably allow many readers to find their happiness, how to force the Raspberry Pi to display on the HDMI port!
The video outputs of the Raspberry Pi
The Raspberry Pi has a very large connectivity that is partly at the origin of its success!
Among its outputs, the Raspberry Pi has 3 outputs allowing the display of a video stream.
- HDMI, of course, which will be the subject of this tutorial and you will be using in most cases. Note that if you need to connect your Raspberry Pi to a VGA display, you will also use the HDMI port, but you will need to go through an HDMI to VGA converter. In this cas, take a look at this one here on Amazon.
- The audio / video jack output, this is a 4-pole jack output, which you will be useful especially for the connection on small screens like thoses for cars, like this one.
- The GPIO/SPI ports, that are use in particular by the touchscreens, like the official one from the foundation (you can found it here at Amazon).
All these connections are very useful, especially because they allow the Raspberry Pi to respond to most of the use cases you may encounter.
The only problem with all these connections is that the Raspberry Pi sometimes has a little trouble finding the video output to use is common to see people who are having trouble to display image on the Raspberry Pi through HDMI.
Force Raspberry Pi display through HDMI
Among all the problems submitted to us, the most common is undoubtedly problems to display through HDMI with the Raspberry Pi!
As often in computing, if the problem is particularly blocking and the solution is not always easy to find, it is by contrast the simplest to apply.
Indeed, there are two possible solutions, either the Raspberry Pi is poorly configured or its power supply is insufficient.
Misconfigured display output on the Raspberry Pi
Installing Anydesk On Raspberry Pi
This is probably the most common case that can lead to a no display when connecting the Raspberry Pi to HDMI situation.
To solve the problem, simply connect to your Raspberry Pi via SSH and modify with your favorite text editor (here we will use nano
) the file /boot/config.txt
.
Note that you will need administrator rights and therefore sudo command (with nano this will give for example sudo nano /boot/config.txt
).
You should then find within this file the following two lines (if not, add them at the end):
To solve the problem you just have to uncomment (ie remove the sign #
at the beginning) these lines and save the file (Ctrl + o
, Enter, Ctrl + x
with nano). Restart your Raspberry Pi and you’re done!
Just for information, here is what these two lines do:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
: Forces to display through HDMI event if no HDMI screen is detected. Remember to re-comment this line if you need to display the Raspberry Pi on a different port than the HDMI.hdmi_drive=2
: Trying to use HDMI mode rather than DVI mode, this allows you to solve certain sound problems.
hdmi_safe, maximum compatibility!
If the previous manipulation has not been successful, you can try to repeat the operation but this time also uncommenting the line hdmi_safe=1
(in this case, comment again the other lines).
This line will ask the Raspberry Pi to attempt a connection with a maximum HDMI compatibility mode. It is a technique that lacks a little finesse and that risks giving a display to the average quality, but that could well be useful to you one day!
According to the documentation, this line is equivalent to setting up the following settings:
A solution to use only if the previous ones do not work!
Insufficient power supply
Install Anydesk On Raspberry Pi
If despite all your attempts the Raspberry Pi still not display anithing on HDMI, it can come from a simple power supply problem.
Install Anydesk Linux
In other words, the power delivered by your power supply is enough to run your Raspberry Pi, but not to power the HDMI connection.
In this case, one only solution, take a sufficiently powerful diet. We advise you to use this power supply that’s power enough, which you can found here on Amazon.
Conclusion

We hope that this tutorial will help you to fix your Raspberry Pi HDMI display!
Now that your HDMI output works perfectly, you just have to learn how to install a super media-center on your Raspberry Pi!
