[CentOS] gnome boot problem

[dominic adair-jones]

Ok that's what I figured Ive narrowed it down to Plymouth but I haven't
found much info on what the fix is. As of now I can ctl alt f2 and run
startx to get to a desktop. When I try to run gui (such as keepnote or
chromium) from within my vms now tho I get errors.
