You can then vnc into thecomputer on that port and use the computer.If you try to log in locally on that computer with that user id, the log indoesn't work, and it goes immediately back to the log in screen..Oh, that's what you mean. I thought you meant you couldn't ssh into itusing that user or something like that. Ok, then that's just the samething that you were saying further down. You can't have multiplegraphical sessions for the same user. It just doesn't work. Have youever been able to do that with vncserver? It's never worked for me. Orit sort of worked briefly, but sooner or later things go badly wrong.I think if you try and run a local session and vnc session with both usinggnome desktop there are issues with it. But I always run the vnc sessionwith the xfce desktop and never had a problem. I've also had no problemrunning xfce locally with a vnc xfce session. Seems gnome is doingsomething with dbus, and causes a conflict with both sessions trying touse the same dbus settings??
My situation is similar, except that I use MATE exclusively. I am trying to understand why the upstream maintainer's solution allows only a single TigerVNC logon using a particular UserID. In other words, if I have a local USER-A and a TigerVNC USER-A, if one is logged on the other cannot. Does this mean that a TigerVNC USER-A will not have access to local USER-A's home directory, and vice versa. If so, this is ludicrous.
If TigerVNC has been so badly mangled in the name of systemd support, what alternative VNC can folks recommend in its place? I seriously need one to support development of virtual machines hosted on a server with huge storage, and the local console of that storage machine is not in a suitable place for development.
