Installing Cinnamon DE on RHEL 7.5












0















I have a ThinkPad T580 running RHEL 7.5. I have installed epel repo and am trying to install cinnamon DE.



I used the command sudo yum groupinstall "Cinnamon Desktop" -y to install the DE. The process fails with the following error message.



Error: Package: pix-1.6.1-3.el7.x86_64 (epel)
Requires: libexiv2.so.12()(64bit)
Error: Package: mint-y-theme-1.2.4-1.el7.noarch (epel)
Requires: mint-y-icons
Error: Package: slick-greeter-1.1.4-1.el7.x86_64 (epel)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


Googling around, I found the following discussions




  1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1578521

  2. https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3539581s


suggesting that Cinnamon on RHEL 7.5 through the usual way is broken with no plans to fix in a timely manner. Any suggestions on work-arounds to get Cinnamon working on RHEL?



Thanks!

          Guess there's no easy way forward for now. I asked the same question on the RedHat subreddit and the new Cinnamon EPEL repo maintainer responded saying that it should be added to stable soon Link
