I can't start tightVNC at startup with systemd

[MAFoElffen]

I still do not understand what "you are saying." That may be due to a language difference barrier.

I guess I'm going to have to spin up a VM , install tightVNC for myself, to see if there is any difference like you seem to be explaining, so we can talk together, with the same understanding.

This should not be as difficult as you seem to be explaining.

Okay, so I'll explain as simply as possible, with the translator this time.


When I run the vncserver command in the terminal, I can access this vnc server with my client and disconnect or connect the vpn without any problem in exchange of a password, which must mean that I have administrator privileges.


But when I run this vncserver command automatically with my system script that I created here: /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service


and that I have filled in as follows:


[Unit]
Description=Start TightVNC server at startup
After=syslog.target network.target


[Service]
Type=forking
User=jeremy
Group=jeremy
WorkingDirectory=/home/jeremy


PIDFile=/home/jeremy/.vnc/%H:%i.pid
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i > /dev/null 2>&1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver :%i
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i


[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target


The server starts but in this case, unfortunately, I can't change any connection or other parameters. So my question is the following: How to launch automatically a session or I could have the administrator privileges automatically?


See the tutorial I followed: https://www.digitalocean.com/communi...n-ubuntu-22-04

I am following that tutorial and seeing for myself.

You should have those permissions associated with your userid, that you log in with, as it is a member of the sudo group. But when I finish going through this, I will test that for sure.

EDIT: Using "translate", that was a lot easier for me to understand what you were trying to say. Thank you very much.

Can you run your apps OK with X forwarding?

[zenvice]

I agree with your diagnosis, yet the same login does not give me the same rights in this case. Tt is my turn to say thank you !

So far I've tried launching the default browser and firefox, it doesn't launch, but qttorrent does, but I'll deal with those other issues later, unless there's a link?

I was in the middle of an install on a VM, when my wife popped the circuit breaker with her hair dryer. LOL.

Reinstalling it now.

[zenvice]

ok, thanks! A tip for the next one, turn off the lights before using the hair dryer. hahaha

Hi,

No one left in the room?

[ActionParsnip]

What is the current status?

[zenvice]

I'm waiting for the return of the tests that Mafoelfen must be doing, on my side I still haven't found anything that works.
