I have a linux VPS with Ubuntu OS. When I connect to it, I see the prompt and I have installed the GUI with the following command: apt install -y ubuntu-desktop.

Now I rebooted the VPS and connected again through Putty, but I see the prompt again...

Is there a command to launch the GUI of Ubuntu?

I have Windows on my Desktop PC and the goal will be to connect this VPS through "Remote Connection Desktop" and see a GUI that allows me to use a Windows emulator like Wine.

I am trying to login as root: Trying to login as root

login failed for user root: login failed for user root

Here the screenshot when i try to cennect trough Reremte Desktop

Putty is a SSH/telnet client, it will only allow you to connect to terminal.

To access your server using GUI you need to choose different protocol, e.g. VCS or XRDP.

To setup XRDP (compatible with Windows Remote Desktop) run:

$ sudo apt install xrdp
$ sudo systemctl enable xrdp
$ sudo systemctl start xrdp

Then use Windows Remote Desktop Connection to connect to your VPS's IP address.
