Phosh remote desktop

[Barugon]

Anyone know how to get desktop sharing working on Phosh? Currently, I'm using Manjaro but I could easily switch to another distro if it's easier to get it working.

Specifically, I want to create a new session with a full desktop, not share the phone screen.

You can try wayvnc, I made it work on Android, with Alpine and Phos

Install wayvnc on the PPP then:

export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp

export WLR_BACKENDS=headless

phoc -E '/usr/libexec/phosh -U' &

wayvnc

After this you should connect from another device using a vnc viewer to your PPP

This is more o less how I did it on Android I'm not sure if something should be different on your case.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

The wayvnc instructions are pretty thin. Is it possible to setup a second screen that's more desktop oriented (landscape, 1x scale) instead of repeating the phone display?

Not sure, in /etc/phosh/phoc.ini you can chande headless mide resolution, give it a go and see what happens.

The best I could accomplish was a black screen.
