Hello Folks

I know there's many questions about 'no graphical environment on 
server', but I've install gnome and enabled it.

After booting the display hangs following:
[ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager
And, perhaps a few following such as starting virtualisation demon, 
waiting for plymouth to quit

Following a server install I ran the following successfully:
# yum groupinstall gnome --skip-broken
# systemctl set-default graphical.target

This this is what systemctl says:
]# systemctl status -l gdm.service
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
    Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled)

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks.
