Enable gui

To enable GUI booting by default on all App servers within the company-name Datacenter without rebooting, follow these steps:

Step 1: Change the Default Runlevel to Graphical Mode

Run the following command to set the default target to graphical mode:

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target

This ensures that on future startups, the servers boot into GUI mode.

Step 2: Confirm the Change

Verify the default target setting using:

systemctl get-default

It should return:

graphical.target

Step 3: Start GUI Mode Immediately (Without Reboot)

Apply the graphical mode without rebooting by running:

sudo systemctl isolate graphical.target

This switches the current session to GUI mode while keeping the system running.

Step 4: Validate GUI is Running

Check the status of the graphical target:

systemctl status graphical.target

If everything is configured correctly, the system should now be running with GUI enabled without requiring a reboot.
