I'm following this guide to setup VNC server in my Ubuntu arm64 machine (specifically, armbian 64-bit). There's one problem I found with it so far.
When I start the VNC server using vncserver :1 -localhost no command, it didn't work and crashed after I tried to access the session from a VNC client.
But, when I tried with LD_PRELOAD=/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 vncserver :1 -localhost no command I found here, it's started to work.
Now I want to manage this as system service using systemctl command. So, I have this unit file:
[Unit]
Description=Start TightVNC server at startup
After=syslog.target network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
User=zulh
Group=zulh
WorkingDirectory=/home/zulh
PIDFile=/home/zulh/.vnc/%H:%i.pid
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i > /dev/null 2>&1
ExecStart="LD_PRELOAD=/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/bin/vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1280x800 -localhost no :%i"
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill :%i
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Now when I ran...
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
$ sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
$ vncserver -kill :1
$ sudo systemctl start vncserver@1
...I got this:
$ sudo systemctl status vncserver@1

What should I do to fix this?
