centos 7 vnc server will not start
by tonj from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5PQMF)
running centos 7 and I start the vmc service with:
systemctl start vncserver@:1.sevice
this has always worked in the past but for some reason the service will not start. I've nbeen trawling google for ages but nothing works.
this is what I get with journalctl -f when I try to start vnc:
