You may need to install a desktop. How can you get to it? Vnc?

Most things can be done through the terminal anyway.

He says - centos

If you can't get into vnc then you can't use a desktop.

Well Here is the Tutorial For Installing Remote Desktop For Centos . Hope It Will Work For You


Step 1:

Download an install putty . This is a utility which you will use to send remote commands to your vps for installing rdp.When you will run putty , it will open a window like this.Where you enter the ip address of your vps which your host gave you and click on open.

Step 2:

In the next window login as root and supply your root password. This will log you as root into your vps.

Step 3:

The next steps assume that your centos comes with YUM already installed. You may check if it is installed or not by issuing the following command in ur putty window.

yum

If the output is something like this window , then it is ok otherwise contact your hosting provider to isntall yum for you. They can do it in two seconds and they should have included it in the first place.

Step 3:

Now we are using the command to install genome desktop enviroment which will install graphical environment on your vps . Issue the following command in the putty window.

yum groupinstall 'GNOME Desktop Environment' 'X Window System'

This will take quite some time ( around 10-15 ) minutes , depending upon the speed of your vps. Please wait for it to finish. After the command executes successfully , issue the following command.

yum update

This will update your system.

Step 4:

Now we will install NX/FreeNX server in vps which will act as our server when in the next steps we connect to this vps as rdp. More information about NX server and client can be found here. In your putty window , issue the following command.

yum install nx freenx

When this command executes successfully , you again issue the yum update command.

yum update

Now restart your server and issue the following command.

shutdown -r now

This will restart your server in about two minutes time. You will have to close the putty window and again start putty and connect to your server as in Step 2 above. We will be needing something from this putty window one final time in a while.

Step 5:

Now go here and download NX client for windows and install it.

Now run nx client from programs and a window like this will open.Enter in the Host box your IP address of vps , Select Gnome as desktop and display area as Available Area and move to next step without pressing any other button.

Step 6:

Go to your putty window and issue the following command.

cat /var/lib/nxserver/home/.ssh/client.id_dsa.key

Now copy the resulting dsa key with Control + C . The area to be copied is shown as grey area in the following picture.

Now go to the nomachine client window that we have left opened in Step 5 and click on key and paste the copied text from putty window in place of the already existing default key there.

Click Save and Then Click OK. It will open a window like this.

http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/1...1109181624.jpg

Enter your user name as root and your root password and click login. And if you followed me correctly , you will soon see a screen like this.

And then finally your centos remote desktop screen like this:
