Warning: If you rely on RealVNC Server to access your Pi, do not upgrade to Bookworm!
I can’t believe they did this. This is a huge setback for me. My feeder is located on an island thousands of km from my home. I’ve really relied on this product. Not to mention that I’ve literally just paid for additional RealVNC licences for all of my Pis. What a stupid move.
You can disable Wayland and revert to RealVNC on Bookworm.
Open Terminal on the Pi, or connect to it using SSH
Run the command: sudo raspi-config
Select Advanced Options, then select Wayland
Select X11 and confirm
Reboot the Pi when prompted
Thanks for the warning.
I wasn’t about to rush in but now i won’t even contemplate it for quite some .
FYI - I tried disabling Wayland on a Pi4 I own and VNC still didn’t work “out of the box”. I didn’t bother with further testing because Bullseye works fine for my application I was running.
Use raspi-config to make sure the VNC interface is enabled.
Yes, I disabled Wayland using raspi-config and enabled VNC. VNC Viewer on my mac did not work when trying to access the Pi. I tried no further troubleshooting and went back to Bullseye.
RealVNC works as always. Attached is an image of a RPi 4b with Bookworm (large screen) and a Windows 11 Notebook (small screen).
