title: VNC on Raspberry Pi shows Cannot Currently Show the Desktop
body: <p>I am trying to use VNC in a headless install on my Raspberry Pi 4, running Raspberry Pi OS, installed via Raspberry Imager. The install is more or less vanilla, as the only changes I have made are for connecting (seting up SSH, wireless and VNC as noted in this guide: <a href="https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-headless-setup-how-to,6028.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/raspberry-pi-headless-setup-how-to,6028.html</a>).</p>
  <p>When I log in via VNC I get the &quot;Cannot Currently Show the Desktop&quot;-error. It should be possible to fix by changing the screen resolution via raspi-config, but that makes the pi unresponsive. Setting the pi to use &quot;G3 legacy&quot; should fix that issue either after a reboot or without (answers vary on that), but it doesn't seem to make a difference in either case.</p>
  <p>Does anyone know how I can get to connect via VNC to my pi?</p>
  <p>Thanks :)</p>
