Hi Tom, Yes, I am. I can reach all settings and terminal from the console. Not sure what commands to try in order to get it to boot normally. ---

Hi, It is booted. What access are you after ssh, desktop or something else:- From looking at the screenshot, I’m guessing the network wasn’t configured during the install. You should be able to this via the nmtui command. You should then be able to ssh in. If you want desktop, once the network is setup:- > **[How to install Gnome GUI on Redhat 9 or 8 Linux Server](https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-install-gnome-gui-on-redhat-9-or-8-linux-server/)** > > Step by Step tutorial to learn the commands that we can use to install popular GNOME GUI on Redhat 9 or 8 Server minimal Linux. If you want something else, can you please provide detail about the setup you are trying to achieve? Regards Tom. ---

Hi, This is normal:- [892178 – rngd.service should behave more elegantly in the case where no hardware RNG is present](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892178) Are you trying to use rockylinux as server or a desktop? Regards Tom. ---

Seems like you used a smaller ISO, or didn’t select the right software selection. If you want a GUI, run `sudo dnf groupinstall "Server with GUI"`
