Hello,

I get the following error when I try to start the VNC service: "[root @ Lab1 pai] # systemctl start vncserver @: 1.service

Work for vncserver @: 1.service failed because the control process exited with an error code.

See "systemctl status vncserver @: 1.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details."

this turtorial didn't work for me. I followed the steps and vnc starts fine but when i try to connect using VNC viewer I got: 'the connection was refused by the host computer'. I even switched off the centos 8 firewall and still got the same error
