Local and VNC. cat /etc/sysconfig/tvncservers | grep -v "#" VNCSERVERS="79:msetzerii" VNCSERVERARGS[79]="-wm xfce -geometry 1920x1080" Know that tigervnc had issues if one tried to run a local session with Wayland and a vnc session at same time. I've always prefered the xvfce one, and generally use it for local and vnc. With the TurboVNC and you can use ssh port and actually start new session, but I generally have vnc started at boot by above, and just connect to already running session. > > =========================================================================== > Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx > =========================================================================== > > > -- > _______________________________________________ > 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 > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue +------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael D.
