X-Window with Ubuntu over VNC

I have a remote Linux Server with Ubuntu installed. When I access this server through VNC, the X-Window appears but I do not see the applications from that server appear? In other words, a GUI populated. This server is my gateway server to the other server instances in the IBM cloud.

Any thoughts?

Maybe it has the "server" release, which doen't have the GUI tools installed.

Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you post a screenshot? What does it mean “GUI populated”? Does your server run any desktop environment? @waltinator I doubt an Ubuntu Server without GUI would accept the VNC connection. The tightvncserver package depends on X11 libraries.

The tightvncserver depends on packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/tightvncserver so those packages are installed. Could it be a PATH problem? Which applications? If it's a "gateway server to ... IBM cloud" you should ask IBM?
