I'm not particularly concerned about the password. I think the "Disconnected" means it got the correct password. But why is it disconnecting? I suspect the answer is in the logs, but I need help interpreting the messages:

Everything I've been able to find on this as far as our equipment goes, is saying that one or the other systems is either using security or is expecting security.

The only Security settings I know of are on the Pi.

Right click the VNC icon on the RPi and choose Options> Security.

They should be set to VNC password and Prefer off.

???????

What is really perplexing is how easy it was for me to set up.

(shakehead, shakehead, shakehead)

Use it as a print server for the Amiga (and any other devices you have - you can put Google Cloud Print on it for example). That's what I do! You can print from the Amiga using the Postscript driver then...

I wonder, first, whether the problems I'm having connecting the two machines would forestall that, and second, how to do it. I spent some time looking at http://www.techradar.com/how-to/computing/how-to-turn-the-raspberry-pi-into-a-wireless-printer-server-1312717, and I wonder how compatible my set-up will be. I don't want to use USB. For some reason, even though I have wi-fi turned off on the rpi3, I print wirelessly to HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 Printer (192.168.200.14) with HPLIP. I'd hate to have to change that, but I'd love to be able to use the Postscript driver on the Amiga.

Egad! That "Prefer off" really makes a difference! I went back to the SAM and clicked the icon, and this time, instead of Disconnected it was something about lack of authorization, either wrong user name (huh?) or wrong password. Then I went to what you wrote yesterday, put parentheses around everything, clicked, added address, and got a message about an anonymous user on VNC!

I didn't see any sign of the rpi3 there, but I switched hdmi to the rpi3 and the VNC icon was black! A puzzling thing, my keyboard and mouse, still plugged into the SAM, work on the rpi3 screen. And if I switch hdmi back to the SAM I still have the rpi3 screen, only it doesn't have a black border all the way around it. only right side and bottom, and I can still use the keyboard and mouse!

It's going to take a while for me to figure out what is going on, but I am really pleased!

Connection attempts: 2
Successful connections: 1

Next, I'll figure out how to get back to Amiga. I had the idea that I would be connected to both at once with VNC, able to get at files from either, but I'm probablky just too greedy.

I'm back. There was the old familiar "Error Disconnected" guru again, but this time it didn't hurt my feelings at all.

Great!

As for the display, I'm not sure what is happening there.

My X1000 has an older 4650 card in it and its my screenmode is 1280x720 60Hz 16:9 same as the RPI. You can set the RPi mode in Preferences> RPi Configuration> System tab Set Resolution. Set the Overscan to Disable. Under the Performance tab I set the GPU Memory to 128.

Also, one of the settings for the TwinVNC icon is DEPTH=16, seems faster that way.
You will have to find what works best for you.

My TwinVNC icon settings;
HOST=192.168.???.???
PORT=5900
PASS=rpivnc
WINDOW
TOOLBAR
DEPTH=16
SCALE
SMOOTH
FONTNAME=topaz.font
FONTSIZE=9

Your mileage may be different. Good Luck.

P.S. If the Pi or the amiga fall asleep you can lose the connection.

My screen puzzles yesterday -- rpi screen smaller than monitor screen and appearing in different places with no hint of Amiga whichever hdmi cord I was using -- was clearly a result of my putting parentheses around everything in TwinVNC, as per instructions. I erased the parens and tried again, with rather different results. Now my rpi screen is in a TwinVNC window (1824x984x24) with its own set of icons in the tool bar (? -- upper left), and the TwinVNC window is on, and slidable around on, the Amiga screen.

I don't have a DEPTH setting in TwinVNC. No real need to experiment with that yet, as what I've got in front of me is very satisfactory. My FONTSIZE is 8, again no problem that I see. I have no SMOOTH. Maybe I erased it by mistake, but everything seems as smooth as I would want. The big difference between what I was reporting yesterday and now is surely the removal of parentheses around SCREEN and TOOLBAR.

I am puzzled by an apparent lack of influence of my RPi Configuration settings. I have "Default 720x480" in Set Resolution, but I have always had what looks like a normal 1280x1024 when running rpi3 alone. The "1824" width of the TwinVNC window doesn't make sense to me, but the 984 height isn't far off. My Overscan is set to "Enable" and Perfomance GPU Memory is "64." I don't know yet what those things mean, but everything seems so good right now I'm a bit afraid to change them.

I want to thank you and everyone else who has seen me through my difficulties and finally gotten me to the desired goal.

You're more than welcome.

Now go roll some eggs.

@All

Maybe it means I wasn't taking full advantage of my X1000's Amiga OS4.1 FE and Ubuntu MATE, but I almost feel that I am better off with my Amiga/Raspberry-Pi tandem set-up. I always had to reboot Ubuntu to use a decent browser, and reboot OS4 to print anything, meanwhile bringing the file to print over from MATE to Amiga by flash drive. So much nicer to have the rpi3 browser always available and a printer driver that works even better than the one on my Amiga (mainly because it does 2-sided printing, but I was always having to reset parameters).

I admit to being a little annoyed that VNC Server always announces a connection from an "anonymous user." As far as I'm concerned, I'm its boss and it should know who I am.

More annoying is the FTP process which I now use instead of a flash drive (and now I wonder whether I could have done that between AOS and Ubuntu? I would still have had to reboot to make use of the transferred file[s]). I use pftp on the Amiga; I have tried something of the sort on the rpi3, but without success so far, and as long as pftp works...

But I wonder if there isn't a way to save some steps in connecting. As it stands now, I have to answer "yes" every time to "The authenticity of host ... can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is ... Are you sure you want to continue connecting?"

The log complains "Could not create directory 'home/.ssh'. The first time I got that message I went ahead and created the directory myself, but it didn't help. Next it asks me for the rpi3's password. I type it in, click "Done," and finally everything is hunkydory. Well, the pftp connection log adds "Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/.ssh/known_hosts)." I assume it would be pointless to add a text file name "known_hosts" to the .ssh directory I created for it as a favor.

Any suggestions as to a way to streamline the ftp process?

Go the other way. Linux can be challenging to get into, and the way it should be.

Set up the Amiga to serve and the RPi to do the transfers both ways.

Need a new thread.RPi3< >Amiga FTP.

Just for fun.

VNC++ Click the picture to make larger.

This is X1000 with RPi3 on VNC with wifes X86 on RPi VNC. The X1000 mouse & keyboard do control the x86.



What do you think, too much free time

Seems the Pi3b has some competition...

@Lou

There are a lot of Pi-type SBCs these days. None of them have anywhere near the support or community of the Pi, and personally I'd avoid them unless the Pi wasn't suitable for some reason.

I'm on the RPi3 full screen today for the first time in weeks. What got me here was the discovery that I can't play video on it through VNC! Omxplayer spends the full amount of time, with the pre-play stats and the "Have a good day!" at the end, but no picture.

The SAM will probably get a full day of rest!

--------------------------------------------------------------
How wrong I was! I always boot RPi3 first, but can't do anything in it because my mouse and keyboard are plugged into the SAM. I was probably the only one who didn't know that after I boot the Amiga (and run VNC?) I can switch the modem back to the RPi3 and use it just as if I had the input devices plugged into it directly! Things are going to be a lot nicer from now on!
