GUI on Centos 7.3 on Dedicated Server?
Has anyone been able to setup a GUI (light weight like Xfce) on a remote dedicated Kimsufi server? I currently have the Kimsufi i3 machines with centos 7.3 installed.. So far, I have been unsuccessful..
After installing xfce/ tigervnc-server, I end up getting a "gray" screen in VNC but no desktop. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I used http://www.tuxfixer.com/install-xfce-4-desktop-environment-on-centos-7/ as a reference.
Any steps/ tutorial to get it working?

I'm not an expert on this, but try this and see if it works, reboot afterward just to be sure.
EDIT: CloudFlare hates code, so let's use pastebin

First, try to find out if your installation was successful. (KVM-over-IP or htop and search for the desktop-enviroment process).
If its running, i would recommend you to install x2go instead of tiger-vnc. X2go is available for MAC/Windows/Linux and uses some kind of compression to enhance the rDesktop feeling.
This does not have KVM... Simple ssh only
Will check. Thanks
Check your logs...
It should be the fonts...
And also post your xstartup file
And permissions of the xstartup file..
Also try right clicking ....
Some times itd Just the screen saver :-p
And you could also use x2go
Hi there,
You can use gnome or kde and use
then you will have to edit the vnc config and replace the startx with startkde, and the vnc should work just fine.
If you read CentOS 7.3 release note's known issues section for that you need minimum 1344MB of memory IIRC
My server has 8g ram
x2go!
vnc sucks hard.
use x2go
I could not get xfce working, but a full gnome worked... Not sure what is wrong with the basic xfce installation
you might not installed the full package of xfce, this is why i told you to do gnome or kde.
+1. xfce + x2go works perfectly fine on CentOS 7.
I did yum groupinstall "Xfce"...
Is there anyother command needed?
