My situation is similar, except that I use MATE exclusively. I am trying to understand why the upstream maintainer's solution allows only a single TigerVNC logon using a particular UserID. In other words, if I have a local USER-A and a TigerVNC USER-A, if one is logged on the other cannot. Does this mean that a TigerVNC USER-A will not have access to local USER-A's home directory, and vice versa. If so, this is ludicrous. If TigerVNC has been so badly mangled in the name of systemd support, what alternative VNC can folks recommend in its place? I seriously need one to support development of virtual machines hosted on a server with huge storage, and the local console of that storage machine is not in a suitable place for development. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights, IL
