RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 2 Rui Matos 2015-09-08 16:43:24 UTC 
Did you run vncserver from and ssh session? Was gdm.service running?
Comment 3 Karel Volný 2015-09-09 10:57:39 UTC 
(In reply to Rui Matos from comment #2)
> Did you run vncserver from and ssh session?

yes

> Was gdm.service running?

no
Comment 21 Jan Grulich 2018-05-30 08:06:37 UTC 
Fixed with tigervnc-1.8.0-6.el7.
Comment 34 Tomas Hudziec 2018-08-28 17:00:26 UTC 
Version 1.8.0-11 generates following default xstartup file:

```
#!/bin/sh

unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
vncserver -kill $DISPLAY
```

with which logging out works fine.
It works also with gnome-session instead of xinitrc.
