    From Peter Humphrey@21:1/5 to All on Sat Apr 19 17:00:02 2025
    Greetings,

    I want to set up tigervnc on my desktop machine to enable remote access. It should run as a system service on this plasma desktop. I've followed the wiki as best I can, but when I start the service I get:

    * Running /etc/init.d/tigervnc in compatibility mode
    * Please migrate to one service per display as detailed here:
    * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#Migrating_from_1.13.1-r2_or_lower:

    That's the right wiki, but it has no such section. Where else can I look?

    Regards,
    Peter.

    I haven't used TigerVNC for yonks, but the wiki page hints to setting up separate users per display in '/etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users' and subsequently creating a symlink for each display in /etc/init.d/. See here:

    https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#Multiple_Server_Configuration

    and here:

    Create a symlink, for example tigervnc.2 -> tigervnc, and start that
    instead:

    rc-service start tigervnc.2

    Perfect!. I had the symlink, just forgot to specify it in the 'start' command.

    Yet another senior moment...
