It looks like what happened is that the upstream project removed that

submitted for Fedora 32, but now that it's in the wild, I've opened a

bug[1] to request the package maintainer add a script that points

users to new instructions. You can see the new instructions in the

HOWTO.md file in the package repo[2].

Ben,

When I followed the TigerVNC installation and configuration instructions in the F33 SysAdmin Guide, I suspected something had been overtaken by systemctl. But when I followed the instructions in link [2], I'm still getting pretty much the same unhelpful error:

# systemctl start vncserver@:1

Job for vncserver@:1.service failed because the control process exited with error code.

See "systemctl status vncserver@:1.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

# systemctl status vncserver@:1.service
