If your VPS provider supports it, you can install the desktop environment first and then install xrdp on the remote server. You might find the following article helpful. operavps.com/linux-vps-with-gui-and-rdp/
I am sure you can install GUI tool to manage DHCP server but I do not have experience in using any of them. I prefer to use command line option because most severs would not have GUI installed anyway.
Did you start the display manager? You can also issue "sudo systemctl set-default multi-user.target" in command line and restart the server. This will make graphics as a default mode.
If your question is only about installing GUI remotely using SSH, you should be able to follow these guidelines and get it done. But if you also want to access it remotely, then you can do so by either enabling X11 forwarding over SSH and use (SSH -X user@server.com) or install xrdp (apt-get install xrdp) on the remote machine and then use Windows RDP client to access your server.
@@CommandLines Yes I am accessing the Linux machine remotely using ssh in UBUNTU 20.04 LTS terminal but i can only see the command line and just file using the command. But if I want to have exactly the GUI in windows 11 machine that i have in my lab so that i can open my files and edit them & access them ..So will the above approach work n this case too ??
I would say installing xrdp on your remote server and then access it via remote desktop client would be an easy solution. You can also research about accessing Linux machine using Google Chrome extension. You would need to have GUI installed in your remote machine, ofcourse, for both approaches.
@@CommandLines I tried to access through RDP from my windows machine but when I try to access it says connecting to sesman ip and login failed to display 0. I am not sure now how to install GUI and access remotely the machine using ssh
I quickly searched (on Google) about accessing Linux GUI using ssh and there are plenty suggestions. I have never accessed GUI using SSH remotely and I wouldn't recommend it either. I always prefer command line which is more faster and secure (over SSH) but if you want to install and test, you might need to look for X11 forwarding using SSH.
It's possible that the DNS server you are using is not resolving the repository domain. To fix this, you can change your DNS to something other than what your DHCP server provided. To test, you can use Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and try again.
