Hi

I have a system with fedora17 installed. i am trying to start vncserver to this server. following packages is installed for this:

tigervnc-server-minimal-1.3.0-16.el6.i686.rpm
tigervnc-1.1.0-5.fc17.i686.rpm
tigervnc-server-1.2.80-0.6.20121126svn5015.fc18.i686.rpm

changed made to /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service as follows:

[Unit]
Description=Remote desktop service (VNC)
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
# Clean any existing files in /tmp/.X11-unix environment
ExecStartPre=/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i > /dev/null 2>&1 || :'
ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l rncit -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024"
ExecStop=/sbin/runuser -l rncit -c "/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i"

rncit is username here.

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[root@127~]# iptables --list | grep 5901
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:5901

when I try to start the vncserver, getting the following error:

[root@127 ~]# systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for details.

system log for vnc:

[root@127 ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages | grep vnc
Sep 27 13:40:12 localhost systemd[1]: vncserver@:1.service: control process exited, code=exited status=98

Sep 27 13:47:28 localhost systemd[1]: Unit vncserver@:1.service entered failed state

can any one help me to get what is wrong with service?

Thanks and Regards

What do you get from this?

Was there any resolution to this thread? I'm having the same issue. Here's what I get:

systemctl status -l vncserver@:3.service

Have you stop the iptables for the same?

systemctl stop iptables.service
systemctl stop ip6tables.service
setenforce 0

Yes iptables and selinux are disabled.

While starting nagios getting following error

Don't post an unrelated message to an old thread.

Create a new thread,
add information (the info you provide is insufficient - what about journalctl output, for example?),

How to create new thread for nagios related issue.I am unable to find the option to open new thread to my post nagios server issue.

Go to a Linux forums.
Select a forum that matches your case, such as Server or Enterprise.
Click on New Thread.

I do agree that it's not that easy to find. A big NEW THREAD button on the home page would be more intuitive.
