I have run vncserver for years, naturally as 'service vncserver
start'. But now it is all systemd and systemctl. Fine. So I think I
have to configure it for my user, as I always use to edit
/etc/sysconfig/vncserver with:
VNCSERVERS="2:alice 3:bob"
So I found I had to:
cp /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service
but I could not figure out what I needed to edit in this file. So I
tried to start the service with:
systemctl start vncserver
And got:
Failed to issue method call: Unit vncserver.service failed to load: No
such file or directory.
So what am I missing?
Also in ~/.vnc/xstartup I changed the execute to:
exec gnome-session &
But the xstartup is created the first time I would start the server...
So things are really working differently and I would appreciate some
pointers.
thanks
I found it easier to user rc.local to start the sessions
runuser -l user -c 'vncserver :port geometry 1280x1024'
where user is the user id, and port is the port you want to user it on.
The systemctl requires you to copy the file with the :port added, and then you
have to modify it with the users name.
I also tried running boinc via systemctl, and it would start, but they would only
run at about 33% of the cpu, whereas running them directly would use 98%
or higher.
You do have to create the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, and make sure the service is
running, since it isn't by default.
