I installed the RealVNC 7.8 on Rocky 9 successfully, but when i try to logon via GNOME desktop , it showed an error screen, and not allow me to login.

I known it could be use tigerVNC, that’s indeed worked. But we have more than 30+ colleague use this server, i don’t wanna create VNC service for everyone … Like james use :1 desktop, marry use :2 desktop, it’s not a good choice for lots of users remote login via tigerVNC.

Anyone could give me some suggestion if we could not use RealVNC anymore on Rocky 9 , so which remote desktop software shoud we choose ?

Thank you all and hope to get your help.

RealVNC lists version 6.10 or higher for el9. Also, lists disabling Wayland.

This link lists how to configure tiger vnc on el9 or higher (sign up for a free developer acct to view)

TigerVNC can use socket activation.
