I can't get REAL VNC Server started on my Linux box.

Where I type in the following:

sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service

I get the following:

System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

Anyone have any ideas how I can get around the problem?

Okay, I've sussed this out.

This command work: sudo systemctl enable vncserver-x11-serviced.service

This command fails: sudo systemctl start vncserver-x11-serviced.service

Ignore it.

In theory the service will start up at boot time. But just in case, do the following.

Assuming, being a Linux user, that you have added a line to your /etc/rc.local script that points to a login / startup script somewhere in your home user folder, then add the following lines to the your said, login / startup script.

That should ensure it starts up
```
if pgrep -x vncserver-x11-s >/dev/null
then
    echo "VNC Service vncserver-x11-serviced is Running..."
else
    echo "VNC Service vncserver-x11-serviced is NOT Running..."
    echo "Starting VNC Service vncserver-x11-serviced..."
    /usr/bin/vncserver-x11-serviced
fi
```
