If you want to change the display settings to a lower resolution for example, you can do it with the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool (raspi-config).'Remote Access' is a way of accessing one computer from the other. And if you executed previous steps carefully, the black screen with ‘Cannot currently show the desktop’ won’t appear any more. That’s it ! Now you can establish a remote connection to your Raspberry Pi again.
Reconnect remotely with your VNC viewer. A monitor directly connected to your Pi isn’t necessary anymore to have your screen back on the VNC viewer. Now you can remove the HDMI-cable from your Pi if you want. Click on ‘OK’ and then ‘Finish’ to save your settings. I always choose the maximum resolution : 1920x1080 Click on your ‘Tab’ and then ‘Enter’ key to select the choosen resolution. Now we navigate to : 2 Display Options then to : D5 VNC Resolution and select a resolution that suits you best. #Install vnc connect raspberry pi update#
Navigate with your keyboard arrows to : 8 Update After the Update operation, the tool will restart automatically. To open the raspi-config tool, enter : raspi-config Then, to be sure, we first update the tool to the latest version. Only for version 11 : Change the display settings in the Raspberry Pi Software Configuration Tool (raspi-config) as follows :.It’s optional, but if you want to visualise the changes you just made in your config.txt file, enter : nano /boot/config.txt Have a look at the bottom of the file. In any case, these settings are kept in your config.txt file.

Only for version 10 : Change the display settings in your config.txt file as follows :Įnter or copy and paste : echo 'hdmi_force_hotplug=1'> /boot/config.txt echo 'hdmi_group=2'> /boot/config.txt echo 'hdmi_mode=51'> /boot/config.txt There are different ways how to change your display settings. If you didn’t change the default wallpaper, it’s easy to recognise: – wallpaper with tempels (see picture above) : version 10 (Buster) – wallpaper with lake (see picture below) : version 11 (Bullseye) If you changed the wallpaper or if you are accessing your Pi through a ssh-connection, enter the following command: cat /etc/os-release and look for the number after ‘VERSION_ID’. So before fixing the issue we have to find out which OS version we are running. Once you have back your screen on your Pi, click on the terminal icon on the taskbar (left upper corner of your screen), a terminal window will appear.ĭepending on the version of your Raspberry Pi OS, the fix will be slightly different. Boot your Raspberry Pi and o pen a terminal window. If you do it this way, the ssh interface has to be configured as ‘enabled’ on your Pi. Or, another option is to connect through a ssh connection. So, to be able to change the configurations, you temporarly need to have a monitor connected to your Pi and forget the remote connection for a short while. To solve this issue and be able to boot without a monitor connected to your remote Pi, we have to change the Pi’s screen resolution. The black screen comes when you boot your remote Pi while it isn’t connected to a monitor and you left the default screen resolution. Reconnect temporarily a monitor to your Raspberry Pi. Have a look at our tutorial ‘ Access your Raspberry Pi remotely from another computer‘ if this isn’t the case or if you need additional information. 
And we assume you already established a remote connection using the RealVNC software. For this tutorial, our Pi is running on Raspberry Pi OS. In this short tutorial we’ll see how you can fix this issue easily. If you installed a remote connection to your Raspberry Pi using VNC, it can happen you get a black screen with an error message ‘Cannot currently show the desktop’ on your next connection attempt.
