You know what, I just remembered something. Again, sorry, I'm not that experienced with his stuff, OS was my first "*nix" operating system.
Back on OS b119 I enabled XDMCP GDM, but it was broken in one of the later builds (b128, can't remember) and I honestly never used it again after I discovered I could just forward the application and got more comfortable with the command shell :) Could there be a conflict that carried over in one of the configs? Honestly, this isn't a huge deal, the only reason I want a GUI is to clean up time-slider snapshots since I find it easier to make decisions on what I want to delete. I can always launch the ESXi console if it came down to it, I'm just curious why it isn't working. I think I'll try remembering what I changed and flip it off.
