Anyone have an autoinstall script?

xaitmi

Hi for the past 48 hours I've been trying to get any desktop working on my VPS..

i've followed many tutorials and keep running into issues where either i get error messages or just a blank gray screen.

Can someone give me a working auto installer please.

I've tried gnome desktop, lxde, x server, and many others.

On a variety of OS's.

The last tutorial I followed was this one, https://www.ndchost.com/wiki/vps/x-server-vnc

which gave me a grey screen

Hmm... It should just work using a blank username and the password you've set. Try the root password?
