I’m having a very odd issue with vncserver on Rocky 9.3.
If I go to a remote system, run “vncserver” and set up a listening vncserver, go back to my local workstation, and run “vncviewer” and try to connect to that remote vnc session, as a regular user, I get this weird error “Authentication Required - Authentication is required to create a color profile” and then it references the Nessus network scanner account.
If I do the exact same thing as above but run it as the root account, everything works fine and I never get that “Authentication Required” message.
So, quick summary, if I set up the VNC session as root, I can connect to it successfully via vncviewer with either root or a regular user account. If I set up the VNC session as a regular user, I get the above error, regardless of whether I use vncviewer as root or a regular user.
OS version is Rocky 9.3, and tigervnc and tigervncviewer are the vnc versions being used.
Any idea what might be causing that?
