I have a server with no GPU in it. Consequently the graphical environment is slow and causes the server to run slowly.

I changed the default target with systemd to be multiuser.target.

sudo systemctl set-default multiuser.target` 

(if my memory serves me correctly)

I sometimes want to be able to login with xfce to deal with something graphical. I can run some programs with xforwarding, but sometimes I need to just log into a full GUI over ssh.

Is it possible to do this? If so how.

Addition

See below image which shows the error message

• I recieve this same message regardless of whether I try to login from an xfce4-terminal or a terminal such as CTRL+ALT+F1
