Funny you should mention that. I just installed vinagre on my box this
morning. The server is a CentOS 7 box, my client is Fedora 32.
I had the following problems:
1) Initially, it seemed to be set up to connect using ssh rather than
vnc. I had assumed vnc by default. RTFM, and all that.
2) I ran it with the wrong port. I happened to get the display number
right, through no fault of my own.
3) When I set up the server, it didn't have a user defined. It
*seemed* like the service started fine, but it kept crashing. When I
started the service and looked at the error message, "user <USER>
doesn't exist"
So, I put this in /etc/rc.local
su -c "vncserver -depth 32 geometry 1024x768" <username>
4) At least then, a window came up, but it was not interactive. It
didn't crash, but I got a blank screen without the ability to type or
use the mouse. Turned out that my server didn't have a graphical
interface installed. I installed KDE on the server, and had it come up
with a default graphic interface.
Then it worked.
So, after making about all the possible mistakes that one can make
installing this thing, it finally worked.
