[awips2-users] Text Workstation and GFE issues on new install.

(I don't know if this was posted or not...Apologies if this is a repeat) Hi, 
everyone! I recently tried to do a fresh install of AWIPS II on acentOS 6.8 VM 
within windows as well as on a fresh standalone centOS 6.8 on adifferent HD and 
I have run into the exact same problems:    
   - The TEXT WORKSTATION option is completely unavailable.  As in, I have 
looked under tools and this option is just not there as all.  Same with some 
radar tools that are in a sub-menu.
   - GFE, when selected acts like it wants to run, but, in the VM, after a 
splash screen with the default gfeConfig user, it crashes AWIPS to desktop or 
hangs.  In the standalone centOS, this was instant.
 I tried this on centOS7 and the end result was that it wouldnot run at all AND 
it deleted yum completely  (“yum:  command not found”) EDIT:  I’m using a 
8-core machine with 16 GB of RAM(main OS).  The VM same amount of cores, but, 
maxxed at 12 GB of RAM. Thanks! Dan Trigona.
