Description amit yadav 2020-11-13 08:55:33 UTC

Description of problem:

The "vncserver" script was removed in RHEL8.3. Now the non-root users are not able to manually start the vnc service. Please include the script again to restore the functionality. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
tigervnc-server-1.10.1-7.el8.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the tigervnc packages on the RHEL8.3.0 system
2. Login into the system as non-root user and try to run vncserver command


Actual results:
The  "vncserver" script is not available.

Expected results:
The  "vncserver" script should be available. So that the non-root user can manually start the vnc service

Hi,

Can we have the fixes also in RHEL/CentOS 8.3 ?
The package from Stream requires a newer selinux-policy package :-/.

Regards,
Rik

The dependency on selinux-policy is always set to the version we build tigervnc against. I guess this is not necessary and we can drop the version requirement. I will check.

Hi Jan,

In the mean time, I wanted to rebuild the src.rpm on 8.3 but I can't find it anywhere.

Where can I find the src.rpm for the packages in Stream?

Regards,
Rik

I don't think these are publicly available. Also, I have been in touch with people working on SELinux and I've been told it's actually a good approach to rely on selinux-policy-%{version} we built Tigervnc against.
