FreeBSD Cinnamon how to ?
by joboy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#596EX)
Hi There,
I am testing FreeBSD, I tried to set up Cinnamon desktop but there is no such thing a ready made distro' for FreeBSD so I brew one myself. It should be easy by installing the Cinnamon Desktop package and enable GDM, I successfully setup Gnome desktop but hit the wall in Cinnamon. As far as I understand I need to add few lines :
In fstab :
proc /procfs rw 0 0
In rc.conf
gdm_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
I'm not sure it I need to add :
gnome_enable="YES"
I can't find any info on that part, since Cinnamon is actually Gnome so I did that but didn't work, I even enable cinnamon but no use :
cinnamon_enable="YES"
After messing around a bit I got the BSD screen of dead the first time, I want Cinnamon because I am used to it on Linux, and it came with some useful utilities, any comment ?
