tigervnc non root usage and gnome shell

[g8jvm]

Hi
I've installed Tigervnc as per the guides section.

2 questions

I'd prefer not to be logged in as root on the remote machine
in the /etc/systemd/system/vncserver@:1.service

[Service]
user=richard

but still comes up as root ???


Second question.

The remote frame is gnome shell in fallback mode

The remote machine uses Nvidia drivers, what do I need to do to get the remote frame to use
the non fallback,( normal ) display mode ????

TIA
Richard

VNC doesn't support 3d acceleration. Try a different desktop enviroment like XFCE or LXDE instead.

I believe this would be possible in GNOME 3.4!

Thanks for the answers , It looks like either wait, or find another DM to use on the vnc...

Any ideas on how to stop being logged in as root on the remote machine ?

Just another thing, how do you get out of fullscreen mode , I tried the normal thing like ESC ,

Thanks

New problem:-
The first time I use the vnc into a gnome shell, its in fallback mode, the next time , its still gnome shell in fallback mode
BUT the applications and location pulldown menus have gone.

I created a new user on the remote machine and logged in with the vnc to get exactly the same behaviour
I've loaded xfce4 to use as an alternative |DM for the second user.

Whats the hidden file called I need to put Desktop=xfce4 in please, I tried .local, but not that.


Thanks
