[help] centos 7 server issues ,can't show GUI

Degen · Jun 2, 2019

I have trouble showing my GUI on a centos 7 client,

I have installed Gnome desktop
when I typ

Code:

# ls

You can see that it has created a desktop etc.

I have xming configured correctly ( following these steps)

Yet I can't display either the desktop on start up
nor
xclock /xeyes.

The missing serverauth file message is a red-herring.
It'sbeen showing up from a startx like that for years.

As for which addresses to add...
startwith any that show up from

Code:

# ip addr list | grep inet

Don't forget the ipv6 link-local ones starting with FE80:
Another thing you may want to try is doing an xauth list after you've logged in to X, and look for any addresses that show up as numbers rather than names.

Doesn't work. Can open Firefox browser but I really need an interactable GUI.
