F21 server and vesa

[Kevin Wilson]

Hello,

I installed F21 server, x86_64.

Now, as expected from a server, it does not contain kde or gnome.

I know that server usually does not need to run XWindows applications.
However, I need from time to time to use xwindows applications on the
server, like some
monitoring tools (wireshark and others).

So I ran "yum install -y @kde" and after it completer, I ran:
startx.

However, I got this error:
...
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist)
...

And X windows did not start.


Is there any way to resolve this and enable running XWindows ?


Regards,
Kevin

Check your grub configuration and make sure nothing was added removed on
the kernel paramaters that might reflect your display.

You may need some more groups/packages... perhaps:

@base-x @fonts

Try installing those?
