I think that @toneoesa made a typo... It is the -fg
switch for foreground mode that seems to be required.
ExecStart=x0vncserver -fg -display :0 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd
If you want to connect from another system, you probably also want to add localhost -no
:
ExecStart=x0vncserver -fg -display :0 -localhost no -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd
May require a bit of sleep to get the service to start on some systems:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/sleep 3 && /usr/bin/x0vncserver -display :0 -rfbport 5904 -passwordfile /root/.vnc/passwd &'
Might be able to add it to ExecStartPre
instead, but I haven't tested:
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/systemctl set-environment XAUTHORITY=$(find /var/run/sddm/ -type f) && sleep 3"
Or on its own ExecStartPre
, after the first one; also untested:
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/sleep 3"
