Graphical interface

The provided image will give you a Virtual Machine with a text console. If you require a graphical interface, please apply the following steps on your VM as root:

# dnf groupinstall "Workstation" -y        # Install the graphical interface
# systemctl set-default graphical.target   # Make this the default systemd target

and reboot the VM to start up X-Windows.

X Windows System / X11 Connections

If you need to allow X11 connections for your instance, install as root

dnf install xorg-x11-xauth

If you want to configure your instance with Kerberos, please follow the documentation from the Linux team on how to configure this upon instance creation or once the virtual machine is running:
