First Time Linux trying to setup GNOME on Centos 7
by Riks15 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#55SYP)
Hi there,
I'm currently trying to setup a GUI on a Centos 7 Environment. It's my first time ever working on Linux and I want to get a bit into it. I checked out some yt vids and some Forums.
All I did so far was installing the following:
Code:[Riks@localhost root]$ yum group list
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Determining fastest mirrors
* base: ftp.plusline.net
* extras: mirror.plustech.de
* updates: mirror.fra10.de.leaseweb.net
Installed Environment Groups:
GNOME Desktop
Available Environment Groups:
Minimal Install
Compute Node
Infrastructure Server
File and Print Server
Basic Web Server

DoneI read that startx should not be executed as root. So I am running it as the User "Riks" when i try to run startx is get the following message:
Code:[Riks@localhost root]$ startx
xauth: file /home/Riks/.serverauth.13851 does not exist
(EE)
Fatal server error:
(EE) PAM authentication failed, cannot start X server.
Perhaps you do not have console ownership?
