Question
couldn't start vnc server
I followed tutorial on this link to access GUI on droplet running Ubuntu 16.01
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-16-04
But in Step 4 — Creating a VNC Service File when I try to start with
sudo systemctl start vncserver@1
I’m getting this error
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.
also I’m getting service status as below
vncserver@1.service - Start TightVNC server at startup
