Uninstall: You only have to uninstall if you copied the SD card from another, already operating, SD card.
type command “sudo apt-get remove anydesk” into command line to uninstall
type command “sudo apt-get purge anydesk”
type command “sudo apt-get autoremove
type command “sudo apt-get clean”
Reinstall: go to link and download for Raspberry Pi, then go to your file directory under “Downloads” and right click on the anydesk zip file to install
Note: It may ask you for a password. If it does, reset your password in command line using command “sudo passwd” and then reboot with “sudo reboot”. Then, try to install again.
When you first try to open a session of this desktop on another device, you may get a message saying “remote display server is not supported.” If this occurs, you will have to switch from running your session on Wayland to X11.
sudo raspi-config
select “Advanced Options”
select “Wayland”
switch to X11
select finish
reboot when prompted
Additionally, you will have to set a passkey on the Raspberry Pi Anydesk for remote access. Use the standard password as given by Dr. Delene.
There is a small chance that the AnyDesk ID Address your computer is assigned is the same as another computer, which will cause it not to work. You can check at the Computer Access Google Sheet (Ask Dr. Delene for access). If this occurs, type the command:
sudo apt-get remove anydesk
Next, open your file tree and go to /etc/anydesk.
Copy the file path of the file labeled “service.conf”
Back in the terminal, enter “sudo rm XXX” and paste the file path you just copied in place of XXX.
Reinstall as stated above; there should now be a new AnyDesk ID Address.
