With no response to my previous post on accessing a Pi with Guacamole I've now changed tack and am using tightvncserver on the Pi instead of the regular RealVNC server. All I had to do was apt install tightvncserver, then run tightvncserver from a shell logged in as pi. Both guacamole and RealVNC Viewer connect without so much as batting an eyelid!
But I still need to start tightvncserver with systemd, and once again I seem to be wading through a tar pit.
In /etc/systemd/system I created tightvncserver.service containingWhen I reboot, tightvncserver starts, but connecting to it I get a desktop with a warning "No session for pid 1879 (which is lxpolkit) and a Pi start button that doesn't do anything.
Tightvncserver appears to have created a .vnc/xstartup file containingHowever, I don't have a .Xresources file in $HOME, which I guess might be the problem.
Someone give me a hand out of this hole please!
