I am trying to get a GUI running on an AWS Centos 7 instance. Tiger vnc seems to run fine and I can get connected with the tigervnc viewer. However, all I get is a grey screen with 4 checkboxes in the upper right hand corner.
I installed Gnome and Server with GUI and I have tried changing my xstartup a hundred different ways, but I always get a grey screen. See the screenshot.
How can I get the gnome gui to work over my vnc session?
thanks
I found out that you will get this issue when using cPanel and WHM if you have the user in a jailed root. Open up the access and the full OS will load.
I would imagine that there is some way to work around this to keep a jailed root, but I am not a linux guru, so I don't know how to accomplish that.
