It is totally screwed up. More talk on the vnc list. The vncserver disappeared with an update on Fedora 32, but then they put it back with info on the change. Rather than keeping it simple with the vncserver, they want to move it to systemd and require all kinds of hoops to jump thru and make it a lot less useful. Have to have an administrator add user and port to the /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.user :port=user # TigerVNC User assignment # # This file assigns users to specific VNC display numbers. # The syntax is <display>=<username>. E.g.: # # :2=andrew # :3=lisa Then you have to systemctl enable for that port. Then on startup. I will start the vnc. Problem is: If it works, you can no longer locally log into that user id, since it is configured for only the vnc session on that user?? Never got a clear answer on why they seem to think this is necessary, and who is pushing it. Have heard there were some issues with running a local gnome and an vnc gnome at same time. I always ran the vnc with xfce so never had an issue. Had lines in rc.local that would start the vncserver for users at boot up using runuser option. New setup is letter root (systemd) start the vncsession option. Their is now a new config file in the ~/.vnc directory that is suppose to start up things, but last time I tested it. I was giving errors if you tried to setup a session option. So, on my fedora 32 machines I downgraded the tigervncserver to before the upgrade, and exclude the update. Haven't figured what I will do later. Worked fine with setup using xfce option, so not sure if this is coming from gnome or tigervnc or someone that thinks they know best for everyone... > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
