Greetings,

I want to set up tigervnc on my desktop machine to enable remote access. It
should run as a system service on this plasma desktop. I've followed the wiki
as best I can, but when I start the service I get:

  * Running /etc/init.d/tigervnc in compatibility mode
  * Please migrate to one service per display as detailed here:
  * https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#Migrating_from_1.13.1-r2_or_lower:

That's the right wiki, but it has no such section. Where else can I look?

Hi,

Probably that section of the wiki has been removed.  You can find it in history https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=TigerVNC&oldid=1245048#Migrating_from_1.13.1-r2_or_lower:

You need to follow the wiki: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/TigerVNC#OpenRC



rc-service start tigervnc.2

I assume you run openrc, and most probably you are starting the main service tigervnc instead of a specific one like tigervnc.1 or tigervnc.2 Create a symlink, for example tigervnc.2 -> tigervnc, and start that instead:
