[AWIPS #EKR-944861]: AWIPS Display Issue Under RHEL 7.9 Server

Hello,

I suspect this is something due to the server vs desktop ISO that was used. 
Were you having trouble running CAVE natively on your laptop/machine or what 
made you go down this route? 

We have a virtual machine already built with CentOS7 and CAVE installed on our 
website. Have you tried downloading and running that? You will need VMWare 
Player, but that's free to install. Our VM download instructions are here: 
https://unidata.github.io/awips2/install/install-cave/#download-and-installation-instructions_2.

We also have native Windows, Mac, and Linux (Centos7/RHEL7) installers.

> 
> 1. Install RHEL7.9 Server from binary ISO into a VBox VM.
> 2. Used subscription manager to attach subscription to VM install
> 3. Installed kernel-headers, kernel-devel, gcc, perl, make from terminal
> 4. Installed vbox guest additions
> 5. Used nano to write awips2.repo since the installer file couldn't
> import it
> 6. Disabled rhel-7-server-e4s-optional-rpms and
> rhel-7-server-eus-optional-rpms repos using subscription manager as these
> were throwing errors when I would try to install
> 7. Ran commands listed on install manual
> 8. Fired up CAVE, localized to IND, validated Unidata EDEX server
> 
> VM specs
> 
> 1. 10gb virtual hard disk
> 2. 10gb RAM to avoid 6044MB RAM warning
> 3. 2 processors out of 16 available on host machine
> 4. VBox guest additions installed
>
