Hello,
My X windows system is not working
So, Mark sir has recommended following steps that what I understand:
1 Press ctrl+alt+f2
2. Then run these commands
yum groupinstall basic-desktop desktop-platform
>> install installs video drivers; if you add a desktop install, it will
>> install its best guess at drivers - they're already there. Unless
you've
>> got multiple monitors, in which case you may well have trouble, then
the
>> gui should just work.
3. After that I should perform
yum -y update
4. Then I should run command for snorts.
If anyone finds any lacunae please guide
Thanks !!

*Cheers,
Mayur*.
