Quartus main window is blank (Linux)

Hi, I attached PNG file of a problem I'm having, I just installed Quartus on my Linux CentOS 7 machine and when I start it, I get just a blank window frame with the title "Quartus Prime Standard Edition". I'm running this on a remote server, using VNC server and Gnome.

System information:

CentOs 7.4.1708

kernel 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64

Anyone see anything like this before? I'm new to Quartus and never encountered anything like this before.

EDIT: I think Gnome is the problem, tried starting up a new vnc display using kde and it worked. If anyone knows how to get this to work with Gnome, please comment!

    Hi,

    This might related with the dependencies on your CentOs itself. Do you have xmonad package installed? Kindly see below link for further information:

    http://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad

    So, in you CentOS, I assume you can use yum search xmonad to list out related packages and then do a yum install <packages_name> then restart your Quartus tools. More open source command here:

    https://wiki.haskell.org/xmonad/installing_xmonad#fedora

    Best Regards,

    Joseph Cheah

    I have the same issue.

    I work around it with :

    - a second VNC session on a differernt system.

    - connect with an ssh connection to the machine on which I run quartus

    - redirecting the display on the ssh session to the other VNC.

    Both machines are on Centos 6

    I have a blank "License Setup Required" gui. Could you mention the sequence of exact commands to execute to make this work
