Hi Experts, I have recently installed TigerVNC server on a Gentoo machine -

Quote:
USE="server" emerge --ask --update --newuse net-misc/tigervnc

Also I have installed xfce using below commands -

Quote:
emerge --ask xfce-base/xfce4-meta xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd
emerge --ask --deselect=y xfce-extra/xfce4-notifyd
emerge --ask x11-terms/xfce4-terminal


But when I am trying to bring up vncserver from one of the user accounts, I get the below message -

Quote:
$ vncserver :11
~/.vnc is deprecated, please consult 'man vncsession' for paths to migrate to. at /usr/bin/vncserver line 43.

I haven't tried to start a VNC server from a user account, but it works fine as a service. Edit /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users to associate a userid to a VNC screen, then start the service; for example, with Openrc, rc-service tigervnc.1 start . Modify as needed if you use systemd.
