So, I recently installed the tigervnc package on Arch Linux (uname -r 4.18.10-arch1-1-ARCH). I'm trying to get the VNC server to run trough SSH tunnels, so I'm starting the server on localhost only with -localhost on vncserver. The problem is, after I start my .service file for vncserver with systemctl start vncserver@:1, the VNC server doesn't respond, and actually, the Xvnc process isn't even running.



I tried troubleshooting this, first with systemctl status vncserver@:1 which gave me this:



● vncserver@:1.service - Remote desktop service (VNC)
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Oct 10 20:57:46 JUHANPELIKONE-L systemd[1]: vncserver@:1.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.


I then tried to diagnose it with journalctl -xe, and found some pam errors and then a segfault backtrace for Xvnc.



I've tried adding a dbus launch command to the service file (it's currently there), changing the window manager, removing and adding parameters to the vncservice call in the service file, runnign this from the terminal emulator directly, and reinstalling tigervnc. Also tried googling this but found no closely similar errors except for a few questions on here, none of which had answers that could fix the problem. If you could provide any help and get this server running fine, please leave a comment or try to answer.



If this is missing something please tell me!



If you're interested in the .service file: it's up on pastebin, along with my journalctl -x output and other stuff, to prevent clutter.
