No GUI for Admin

So I am having this Issue on my CentOS 7 computer where if I use the startx command on the root account the GUI launches up just fine but when I use the startx command it says x server has refused connection. This is only for Admin account, I used a normal user and the GUI launched just fine but when I remove admin privileges from that account it still wont work. Any Ideas?

Try with
Code: Select all
systemctl isolate graphical.target
If you want it always with GUI , then run:
Code: Select all
systemctl set-default graphical.target

update, I have been using systemctl isolate graphical.target for a while now but from what i can tell it stopped working ever since I installed wine, I cant get to the GUI, yet again.

Any errors in /var/log/messages or in the journal (journalctl -xe )?

I haven't checked but I doubt there would be any because it just gives a solid black screen until i turn off the device

It may give a solid black screen on that session, but you might be able to switch to an alternate like Ctrl+Alt+F2 or other. Those TTY shells should hopefully be unaffected.
Cheers,
