Trying to setup VNCServer for accessing a CentOS7 machine via Windows Remote Desktop and getting errors starting the VNC service:
[root@HW006 ~]# systemctl start vncserver@:1
Job for vncserver@:1.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status vncserver@:1.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[root@HW006 ~]# journalctl -xe
