Your system probably older, and lacks the hardware requirements to run

My machine, a "virtual private server," has NO video card. I even
ran 'Xorg -configure" to get that fact straight from the horse's
mouth!
So, firstly, I ought to move this discussion to the Xtightvnc list
(maybe they have hammered out a workaround), and secondly, check out
MATE or Cinnamon.
Thank you. I was getting really weirded out because every time I
googled one of the syslog error messages, I ran straight into a
discussion of, for example, nvidia drivers or some such video
hardware conversation.
All best,
