4, Change Bookworm Waylane to X11:

Raspberry use the new Bookworm version of OS. One important difference, now my remote control software UltraVNC didn't worked anymore. It's told that the Tiger VNC can be used in the head PC Windows machine. It works but with lot of difficulties, I decided to do something about it. Google on the problem and consulting my friend. It's possible to switch back from the new Wayland standard to the old X11 which was used in my Raspberry Pi4. My smartphone can connect to the Rasberry but not the tablet which is older.

Info about Bookworm:

• https://www.raspberrypi.com/ news/ bookworm-the-new-version-of-raspberry-pi-os/

Note: when doing this it can be that you loose the connection over VNC. For me it happen, but I could with Putty connect to the Raspberry over LAN. If that doesn't work either you have to connect a monitor and keyboard to the Raspberry and finish the installation and setup. The only VNC viewer tool that I got to work on my PC was the TigerVNC.

Download RealVNC:

Download RealVNC to your Raspberry as a preparation:

Copy this link to the Raspberry web browser, Click "Return" and it download:

• https://downloads.realvnc.com/download/file/vnc.files/VNC-Server-7.10.0-Linux-ARM64.deb

Normally it store the file in the library: Downloads. If you don't find it here you have to search for it where it's stored.

Install VNC server arm64:

Commands to type into the terminal window, "admin@raspberrypi5" is my personal, your will look different:

1. cd Downloads
2. ls
3. sudo dpkg -i VNC-Server-7.10.0-Linux-ARM64.deb

1. Change the library to where the file is stored
2. List what's into the library where you are now (Downloads)
3. Install the file (VNC ARM64)

Configuration of VNC standard:

If you have problem to connect to the Raspberrys desktop with VNC, use PuTTY instead and connect in terminal mode.

From the terminal window the configuration can be done. After you have logged in, type in the commando below.

• Sudo raspi-config

A window opens where the settings can be done. Choose the "Advanced Options"

Choose A6 Wayland setting.

Choose W1 X11 backend. Move done to <OK>. After that reboot.

Set better resolution:

1. sudo raspi-config
2. Select Display options
3. Select VNC resolution

Opens the same windows as earlier.

Setup RealVNC:

The earlier downloaded and installed VNC ARM64 must now be activated:

Open the terminal window and type in these commands:

• sudo systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service
• sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service

Reboot the Raspberry.

After this I get it to work. TigerVNC in my PC, RealVNC in my Smartphone and RealVNC in my tablet.
