Thank you for letting us know there is possibly an issue.
Please double check the systemctl command was exicuted as root not a regular user.
If that does not help can you please post your "/etc/systemd/system/[email protected]" file.Thanks !

Hi, Well this seems to be all fine.
Can you please let me know the version/distro you are using?
Are you using one of the Linux Foundation images?Please let me know the version of vncserver and systemd you are using.
Thanks

Hi, I retested it on a clean installation and duplicated your issue. It is a typo in the example file. The PID specification has the wrong user name in it.
Incorrect:
PIDFile=/home/lee/.vnc/%H:%i.pidCorrect:
PIDFile=/home/student/.vnc/%H:%i.pidThank you for pointing this out, it will be corrected in the next version.
