PCRx Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 My server normally runs headless but I now have a need to access it via the servers GUI. Is there a command to startup the GUI from the server CLI or do I need to reboot (prefer not too)? 1 Quote Link to comment

Gex2501 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I guess the next question is; is there really much of a downside to always booting with the gui? Sure it will take up some memory but it can't be that bad can it? Quote Link to comment

Sure it will take up some memory but it can't be that bad can it? I see no reason to not always boot with the GUI as I think the overhead is trivial. That does no stop using the GUI over the network, and if for any reason you ever have a monitor and keyboard+mouse attached you can use the local GUI without having to change anything.

TDD Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Is there a way...nicely...to kill the slim session and revert back to the command prompt? 1 Quote Link to comment
