Hi there,
Quote:
What you mean is very probably a complete Linux distribution whose version is 6.1, but you forgot to tell us which one it is. [X] Doc CPU |
It's Red Hat Enterprise Linux server 6.1

RHEL normally dose NOT install a gui on a server
GUI's are very big security risks so they are not installed on servers by default you might want to have a read through the red hat install guide http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Re...ide/index.html the docs page https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/...erprise_Linux/ |
I've found nothing helpful on those links. What can I do now ?

rhel6 normally DOSE NOT install a gui
a gui is not wanted on a server you would have to install gnome gnome is not installed by default on a server Did you install Gnome? If you installed gnome then from the link above http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Re...oting-GUI.html edit "/etc/inittab " with nano or vi and change "id:3:initdefault:" to "id:5:initdefault: " gedit will not work without gnome running also gnome is started by using GDM and not startx any more after loging in as a NORMAL user and NOT as root type in gdm also seeing as this is a VM install on an Oracle( was sun) Solaris have you looked on the Oracle VM web site |
select any one & install with yum
yum groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment" To install the KDE desktop environment, yum groupinstall "X Window System" KDE To install the XFCE desktop environment, yum groupinstall "X Window System" XFCE vi /etc/inittab change 3 to 5 |
