Description of problem: After installation of tigervnc in Fedora 30 one can find some example systemd files shipped in /usr/lib/systemd/system/: find / -regex ".*vnc.*\.\(service\|socket\)" find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc.socket /usr/lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service /usr/lib/systemd/user/vncserver@.service The `xvnc@.service` file contains some X11 display configuration. The `xvnc.socket` file contains, what looks like the xvnc@.service content. The `vncservice@.service` files in systemd/user and systemd/system looks correct on first sight. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm --query -f /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service tigervnc-server-1.10.0-1.fc30.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install tigervnc 2. Check socketfile /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc.socket 3. Check /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service Actual results: content of the service file: ``` cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc@.service # This file contains configuration of libvnc.so module # # To get libvnc.so module working, do this: # 1. run "vncpasswd" from tigervnc-server package as root user # 2. uncomment configuration lines below # # Please note you can specify any option which Xvnc accepts. # Refer to `Xvnc -help` output for detailed list of options. #Section "Module" # Load "vnc" #EndSection #Section "Screen" # Identifier "Screen0" # DefaultDepth 16 # Option "SecurityTypes" "VncAuth" # Option "PasswordFile" "/root/.vnc/passwd" #EndSection ``` Content of the socket file: ``` $ cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/xvnc.socket # The vncserver service unit file # # Quick HowTo: # 1. Copy this file to /etc/systemd/system/xvnc@.service # 2. Copy xvnc.socket to /etc/systemd/system/xvnc.socket # 3. Run `systemctl daemon-reload` # 4. Run `systemctl enable xvnc.socket` # # DO NOT RUN THIS SERVICE if your local area network is # untrusted!

See the "-via" option in the # `man vncviewer' manual page.
