Have the session started thru the rc.local at startup runuser -l msetzerii -c 'vncserver :xx -geometry 1280x1024' So, not sure why that wouldn't create a login session to run the vnc?? Been running thru many version of linux going back to Redhat 9, and now thru to Fedora 27. Didn't notice error messages before 27, so not sure if they were there before. You don't see the messages if you run gedit from the menus, but from the command line, they pop up. Without the login, the directory doesn't exist. With login. tmpfs 758388 4 758384 1% /run/user/1000 # find . . ./dconf ./dconf/user ./bus ./systemd ./systemd/private ./systemd/notify ./systemd/transient So, not sure if errors are not important, or if setting up an ssh startup process would be a solution. The machine doesn't have a monitor, so just vnc into it.
