Unfortunately, the GUI isn't quite set up to tell you what the error would be. When you use `$ sudo yum install whatever.rpm`, the output in the shell will often give you a clue as to what's going wrong--a missing dependency, etc. -- Seth.

Hi, Is there any way to customise the top panel in CentOS 7 with GNOME 3 (which I recently tried for the first time)? Specifically, I want to add "application launchers", as it will make start-up faster than the standard alternatives. (Because you can move the mouse directly to the right place - you don't have to carry out another action, wait for icons or menu items to pop up,

I'm using CentOS 7 for development of software that is sometimes used on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. I conjunction with an update of one of the applications, I asked some Red Hat users to install the Qt 4 Assistant application via the qt-assistant package (which is used by a "help" function in our software.) It seemed like there was no such package in the Red Hat package set,

Hi, I just found myself having to set up a new CentOS 6 system with a nearly identical configuration to an existing host, so I thought I would just 1. Do a minimal install to set up partitions etc. on the new system. 2. Create an image of the existing system using Clonezilla (http://www.clonezilla.org) 3. Run a Clonezilla restore on the new system. - as I though it would be a lot

Hi, I'm trying to connect my CentOS 6.8 laptop to the wireless net at work, which is secured with WPA2 and AES. I've done this successfully in the past using NetworkManager, but a new safety feature was recently introduced: A CA certificate is required. After this, I've not been able to connect. I have a DER format file, whose path I've entered in CA certificate: in the

Im trying to learn how to create RPMs but am a little confused by the spec file. Im trying to package up some Python scripts, rather than binary files, and I want them to be installed in a subdirectory under /usr/local which I shall refer to as /usr/local/X Ive put the scripts in a tarball under /home/me/X/RPM/SOURCES but Im getting terribly confused over what to put in the? %build %install

Hi, Is anyone here using smb:// URLs to access "Windows" shares? I've been doing this for a while with common file systems at work, and it used to work just fine. Then I while back, I started getting issues; I will now just keep getting asked for a password when I try to access something through smb://. I thought at first that this meant there had been some kind of change

First off - let me say I am not an administrator.?? I need to know?if there is an easy way to increase my /boot partition.? When I installed CentOS 6 after running 5, it was my oversight not to increase the /boot size.? it's too small and I can't do yum updates. if it's not easy to actually increase it, is it safe to take a chunk in my root filesystem (like /new.boot or something) and

If you're in an AD environment, you can probably do nicely with mount.cifs: sec=krb5,multiuser That way you don't have to deal with usernames/passwords at all. jh

If I want to install a software package from a simple rpm file "the GUI way" on a CentOS 7 system, what am I supposed to do? If I open the file in the desktop, or alternatively, click on a link to a package in the browser and tell it to use the default app, gnome-software (I think) opens, but it just displays the message Sorry, something went wrong I mean, really? Isn't this
