NOTE: I managed to fix it for CentOS. Now I am getting an error when trying to open mirror: "Could not load stream library". Does anyone know how to run mirror on CentOS?

Hi guys,

 

I have been trying to set up a CentOS 6 x64 VPS from vultr. I have used many commands in putty to try and set it up and I am getting the following error: I

I use these commands:

yum install -y nano xkill firefox tigervnc-server xorg-x11-server-Xorg gdm xorg-x11-fonts-* libXtst-devel-*
vncserver && vncserver -kill :1
sed -i 's/twm/startxfce4/g' ~/.vnc/xstartup
vncserver

I am connecting through TightVNC Viewer, and using 1 as my port. I have also tried using 2-10 with no sucess.

If anyone can help me that would be great, I spent 7 hours last night trying to figure this out and could not

NOTE: Vultr is hourly, so I can change my vps OS at any given time if you have something that works. I have also tried a bunch of guides here at the forum and I get the same error...

Guides I have followed (I have followed more offsite guides as well): Lemons guide below actually gave me access to the VPS for the first time when connecting, but it did not have any programs installed. If anyone knows how to install within Linux server (not putty) then this could solve my problem.

The guides on OSBot are mostly shit, you haven't installed a desktop enviroment by the looks of it, which is why it doesn't work. Just use https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-vnc-on-ubuntu-16-04

Vultr Debian 8 fresh install

then follow this

apt-get update
apt-get install curl

ignore the executable (runosbot.sh, etc.)  commands the links are down

Ok, I managed to fix it for CentOS. Now I am getting an error when trying to open mirror: "Could not load stream library". Does mirror support CentOS?
