Scenarios

In order to provide customers with a pure ECS system, the Kylin system cloud server does not have GUI installed by default. If you need GUI, please refer to this section for installation.

Procedure

1. Configure the network to ensure that the yum source can be used normally. The operating system of Galaxy Kylin cloud server can directly use yum source in the environment with external network, but it needs to mount the image as the local source in the environment without external network.

2. Execute the following command in the character interface to list the graphical package groups that can be installed.

#yum group list

3. Execute the following command in the character interface to install the graphical desktop related package.

#yum groupinstall -y "Server with UKUI GUI"

or

#yum groupinstall -y "cloud server with GUI"

4. Execute the following command in the character interface, and set the default startup mode of the system as graphical.target, that is, graphical startup.

#systemctl set-default graphical.target

 

5. Execute the following command in the character interface to restart the system to make it take effect.

#reboot

After the system restarts, the GUI is displayed.

 

Enter username and password to enter the system.
