We had an error message with TigerVNC. It was a Connection refused/timed out error and is already known:
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/VNC#Troubleshooting
we had to enter:
apk add postmarketos-config-nftables-vncserver
service nftables restart
Then, it was possible to connect with TigerVNC on a Windows PC to a Pinephone. What we can say after a first test:
- The Pinephone screen is mirrored fine
- The Windows mouse always worked fine, and showed up on the HDMI screen and on the Pinephone
- The Windows keyboard sometimes worked, sometimes did not work
- A test with the Gnome editor worked fine to write some text
with LibreOffice:
- Sometimes it was possible to drop down the menus with the PC mouse, sometimes not
- Sometimes the PC keyboard worked, sometimes not
- The PinePhone keyboard sometimes worked with LibreOffice, sometimes not
- When we installed LibreOffice on the PinePhone, it was possible to connect a Cap Clip Bluetooth mouse, write a file, drop down the menu and save the file.
- When connected to a Windows PC, whe had to restart the phone several times, sometimes, the menu worked, sometimes the keyboard worked.
- To save a file via keyboard and mouse on the HDMI monitor worked, but it was tricky.
