How to create multiple VNC sessions

Post by manojrajmr » 2021/03/14 02:54:40

Hi
I've been using 2 vnc sessions to run on my two monitors from home all this while. I do this by running 'vncserver' twice, which gets ports :1 and :2.
With latest update, this is not working, and I have to use:
sudo systemctl start vncserver@:1
But the problem is, looks like I can run only one vnc server for my user.
I tried in the /etc/tigervnc/vncserver.users file:
:1=user1
:2=user1

I ran
sudo systemctl start vncserver@:2
which was accepted, but didnt create a different vnc session. Is there a way I can do this ?
All I am looking for is a separate GNOME session which I can independently run on my second monitor.
Appreciate your help!
