<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Recently I installed a RHEL6 server into an ESXi server.<br></div><div>I'm using it as a nfs and samba file server.<br></div>/etc/iniittab defaults to runlevel 3 in this version of RHEL.<br>
</div>I tried init 5, but it does not start a GUI.<br></div>Editing /etc/inittab and changing the runlevel to 5 and rebooting was a mistake because I lose the ability to CLI-login; I see a CLI of the services starting, but after the last service starts I get nothing.<br>
</div><div>Kind of hard to tell whether or not ctrl-alt-F1..F7 work or not. The way in is via a Windows XP workstation, then launch a VSphere client, then Open Console.<br><br></div>yum groupinstall "X window system" says it's already installed.<br>
<br></div>startx gives me a GUI, but not the full login-based GUI, and none of the GUI-driven desktop window stuff.<br><br></div>Mainly I'm wanting it for the infomation assurance people who'll be auditing this weekly. They are not a command-line oriented bunch.<br>
