[SOLVED] GUI Issue with graphical.target being inactive

KarolDworak · 11-08-2018, 05:22 AM

I installed a basic CentOS7 server and later downloaded desktop software and am able to startx into it, but I would like to, if possible, to boot into graphical.target. When I run

Code:

systemctl list-units --type=target --all
graphical.target           loaded    inactive dead   Graphical Interface

Anyway to activate it and set the target to graphical? Thank you.

What is the output of

Code:

systemctl get-default

?

Multi-user.target

Try

Code:

systemctl isolate graphical.target

to switch from multiuser to graphical right now. And

Code:

systemctl set-default graphical.target

to boot to graphical mode by default.
