Ok thanks. In mga the file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers is only in vnc-server-common.
As there is no maintainer for this package I added the committers in CC.

(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

CC: (none) => dmorganec, fundawang, misc
Source RPM: tigervnc-server-1.1.0-1 and vnc-server-common-1.0-2.mga1 => tigervnc and vnc-server-common-1.0-2.mga1
Severity: normal => major

I sort of got around this by installing vnc-server-common first, then installing tigervnc-server and ignoring the conflicts.  I have tigervnc server working, but this would definitely cause issues for a novice Linux user.

I can't believe you haven't fixed this yet in RC 1.  Why bother reporting bugs??? This is pretty fundamental stuff, running VNC Server!!

It looks like this will affect upgrade from mga1 so adding to the tracker.

I will confirm on Monday.

Yes someone updated tigervnc to the fedora package switching to systemd and replacing the configuration file with one saying "# THIS FILE HAS BEEN REPLACED BY /lib/systemd/system/vncserver@.service" which is not very helpful...

It seems you can no longer have a configuration file, you are supposed to manually copy the service file and edit it...

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/tigervnc/current/SOURCES/vncserver.sysconfig?revision=180030&view=markup - i think this file should be removed and info that it cointains should be added into urpmi's readme. This should fix the conflict.

I would vote to remove the untested systemd stuff which makes the package harder to use (and will leave system in bad state if you uninstall the package).

I committed it in svn.

Package was now uploaded

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
