OK. New day, new testing. I can get IPv4 setup quickly and routing
right. Yeah me (with a little help from my friends I got by)!
So I go to start vncserver where I was up to yesterday where I got the
display wrong and get:
# systemctl start vncserver@:3.service
Job for vncserver@:3.service failed. See 'systemctl status
vncserver@:3.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

entered failed state.
So now what? It worked yesterday....
Check if there is a /tmp/.X11-unix/X3 file.
It is suppose to be removed with a normal shutdown, but sometimes isn't and
causes the vnc not to start. I used a cron.hourly script that would check if vnc
serve running, and if not, it would remove the file, and then use systemctl to
restart the service.
That might have been it. I had just pulled the plug on the last
shutdown. This time I did a proper poweroff and powered on, and it is
starting.
