I assigned each user a VNC port, but when start the services I see this errors:
root@kensa-dev-server1:~# systemctl start vncserver@2.service
Job for vncserver@2.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status vncserver@2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
root@kensa-dev-server1:~# journalctl -xe
