The error message "Failed to preset unit: Unit file xvnc.service does not exist" is an issue in the spec file, I will fix that. The missing vncserver is expected as Tigervnc is supposed to be started over systemd now. There is a newer build of Tigervnc providing /usr/bin/vncserver, but it's just a script that will tell you to read HOWTO.md document. FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 FEDORA-2020-98137c59f8 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-98137c59f8 Systemd start implies tigernvc-server users require root privilege, correct? If so, that's a step backward in usability. Thanks for the speedy update to the install problem. FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 has been pushed to the Fedora 33 testing repository. In short time you'll be able to install the update with the following command: `sudo dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing --advisory=FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858` You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 See also https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for more information on how to test updates. FEDORA-2020-98137c59f8 has been pushed to the Fedora 32 testing repository.

Applied patch as directed on F32. Executing /usr/bin/vncserver gives: Please read /usr/share/doc/tigervnc/HOWTO.md for more information. However, /usr/share/doc/tigervnc/HOWTO.md was not installed. Other than missing HOWTO, install script errors are now gone. Fedora documentation here still refers to /usr/bin/vncserver. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/24/html/System_Administrators_Guide/ch-TigerVNC.html FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 33. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-7f2dcfe858 FEDORA-2020-98137c59f8 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-98137c59f8 (In reply to Steve King from comment #8) > Applied patch as directed on F32.

Looking good now! Confirmed install looks clean and howto exists. New /usr/share/doc/tigervnc/howto.md was clear and provided useful warnings for common pitfalls. Following directions in the howto, the vncserver started fine. A few minor requests for the HOWTO: 1) How do users know if they have a vncserver already running? Previously was vncserer -list. 2) How do users kill their VNC session? Previously was vncserver -kill :n 3) Confirm users should copy /etc/tigervnc/vncserver-config-defaults to their ~/.vnc/config and modify to suit. Thanks for the help! Everything goes through systemd so: > A few minor requests for the HOWTO: > 1) How do users know if they have a vncserver already running?

Well, this step is not necessary unless they want specific configuration. I will update the HOWTO with the information above. Thank you.
