Problem when I start the OS

Huamin · 07-20-2015, 07:53 PM

Very sorry to that, I issue

ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target

at command prompt but I still cannot get into GUI after having started the server.

From the other facts you have posted, it's very likely you don't have GUI software installed and will again end up with a command prompt.

Can I have the way to install GUI to this OS? Thanks

I don't know for Oracle Linux. I had the same question for Centos or Red Hat and found the answer thanks to Google, for example http://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux...-7-rhel-7.html.

But really, make an effort and read the documentation.

I did check the way to enable Gnome on Rhat. Can you or anyone please advise to this below?

Most probably Oracle Linux uses different package group or packages.
What does yum grouplist say?

Your yum seems to be misconfigured. It wants to use a repo file that doesn't exist???

Check if /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-o17.repo exists.
If yes, what's the content.
Also, do a yum repolist.

Can you do the other steps?

Check if /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-o17.repo exists.
If yes, what's the content.

If it doesn't exist, check if any repo is configured in /etc/yum.conf.
If not, I am at wit's end, I am afraid.

Yes,

/etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-o17.repo

does not exist. Here is /etc/yum.conf
