Well, whereever that file came from, it's wrong. systemd has built in
tools to switch user and they should be used as things like runuser and
su have a tendency to create their own sessions which is often not what
you want.

That unit looks messy :s

Try this:

[Unit]
Description=Remote desktop service (VNC)
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
User=antonio
Group=antonio
ExecStartPre=-/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i
ExecStart=/usr/bin/vncserver %i -geometry 1024x600 -depth 24 -fp
/usr/share/X11/fonts/misc
ExecStop=/usr/bin/vncserver -kill %i

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target




Some notes:

1. syslog.target is old and not needed in recent systemd's

2. No need to shell out and ignore the return value of the Pre command.
Use the - after the equals to ignore the return value of the command.
It's output will be logged in the journal but that's fine IMO.

3. User=/Group= is a built in way to set the user and group. You should
drop runuser completely as it's totally unneeded - systemd has this
built in as documented in the manual.

4. I'm not sure of the %i usage above. You r spec mixed and matched a
hard-coded :1 and some use of %i. If your service is
vncserver@1.service, then you'll want to include the : in the commands,
but if you are e.g. using vncserver@5900.service then I guess it's just
an absolute number? (I forget the syntax of VNC server so forgive me if
this is wrong!)

5. If you ultimately try to run vncserver with a 1 argument (meaning
desktop :1 but actually translated directly as tcp port 1 then this may
account for a permission error (regular users cannot listen on TCP ports
< 1024). Make sure you get your :1 vs. 1 correct.
