Failed to start GNOME Display Manager

YezelalemNov 25 2015 — edited Nov 25 2015

One of my server has failed to start the GUI desktop after I restarted. I logged to the server through ssh and checked the status of gdm.servcie and it output is as follows:

[root@ns10 etc]# systemctl status gdm.service
gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled)
