So I'm trying to make it where I can view my cgminer 3.1.1 on my raspberry pi. I'm using a VNC so I can see the stats on a different screen. I can't figure out how exactly to view anything and google searches haven't turned up any help.
Probably not getting responses because could use more info.
How did you run cgminer? How was it started?
If you ran it from from the desktop, then when you connect with VNC to your session, you should just see it.
One suggestion might be starting it in a screen or tmux session. That way, you can connect to it by opening a terminal window or through SSH, and attaching to the cgminer session with screen -r, or tmux attach, etc.
