Step 3: Change systemd to start graphical mode.
$ systemctl set-default graphical.target

Now reboot your server and if your performed step 3 you will start in your chosen desktop.

Hello, I am trying to have my installation of Fedora 27 Server initiate to the GUI and I’ve tried everything here suggested but to no avail.
After successful installing the server and been able to connect via the web interface, i tried to install Cinnamon Desktop which took some time to install but after it completed with no errors i tried running StartX and got an error: Failed to import environment: Process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1
xinit: Connection to X Server lost
waiting for X Server to shut down. Server terminated Successfully (0) Closing log file.

Hi Donald,

By default Fedora 27 Server will be installed for CLI mode, If you need any desktop environment on it, you have to manually install using dnf command:

$ sudo dnf groupinstall “Basic Desktop”

$ sudo dnf groupinstall “Cinnamon Desktop”
