Centos – Cinnamon for CentOS

centoscentos-6cinnamon

I was trying to install Cinnamon from Source code in a CentOS v.6.4.

Unfortunately, I was stumbling upon dependencies that were becoming weird each and every time.
Some of them, I tried to build, but didn't work. They needed things like GTK+ of certain version that wasn't available for CentOS.

Do you know if there is anyway to install Cinnamon in CentOS?

CentOS (which is derived from RHEL) are still on Gnome 2. Since Cinnamon is based on Gnome 3, I would think that you would have an uphill battle getting it to work on CentOS. If you are looking to have Cinnamon work on a RPM based distro, then you should consider Fedora, OpenSuse or Mageia.

Centos – NIS failing on CentOS 6

You may also want to check to see if you have Firewall enabled which will likely stop the communication between the NIS client and the NIS server.

chkconfig --list | grep iptables

Try the following:

service iptables stop

Then re-try your client binding.

If that fixes the connectivity problem, then you can either turn off iptables (Firewall) or modify the rules appropriately.

Centos – can’t run lspci in centos 6

"Command not found" is quite something different than "it doesn't seem to be working".

Either lspci got installed to a place which is not in your path, or you use a shell which needs rehash to update its directory cache.

Note that you did try to run it normal user. Thus /sbin, /usr/sbin and /usr/local/sbin probably are not in your path.
