Hi,
I am attempting to get Tiger VNC running in a fresh install of Oracle Linux 7.1
I installed tigervnc-server using YUM
I copied my /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service file to /etc/systemd/system directory
I edited the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@.service config file
In the file I replaced <USER> with root, I appended -geometry to the ExecStart line, giving
ExecStart=/sbin/runuser -l root -c "/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1280x1024"
PIDFile=/home/root/.vnc/%H%i.pid
I issued
systemctl daemon-reload
I set my vnc password
I checked there was no vnc already running using systemctl status vncserver@:1.service
As root I started the VNC Server systemctl start vncserver@:1.service
I got the following Error
Job for vncserver@:1.service failed. See 'systemctl status vncserver@:1.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
Even though the command line failed there are now some vnc processes running
root 3426 1 0 11:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/Xvnc :1 -desktop lab3-nms:1 (root) -auth /root/.Xauthority -geometry 1280x1024 -rfbwait 30000 -rfbauth /root/.vnc/passwd -rfbport 5901 -fp catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d -pn
root 3433 1 0 11:18 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/vncconfig -iconic
On the console there was also an
SEAlert reported
AVC denial
<SHOW>
SELinux has detected a problem
The source process /usr/libexec/colord
Attempted this access: search
On this directory: 15138
Any idea what the problem is ? Do I need to disable SELinux ?
thanks
Jim
