I recently did a yum update on my F15 which pulled in a new kernel, and
a lot of other packages.
After a reboot, KDE locked up. Eventually I got a message saying that
compositing (for Desktop Effects) had been turned off because my system
was too slow (which it is not.)

I'm running F15. Files are mysteriously being removed from /tmp after a
number of days of not being touched. I am familiar with
/etc/cron.daily/tmpwatch and, in fact, modify it to inhibit removal of
files from /tmp. In the past this has worked. Under F15 it has not.

A recent update installed the 2.6.42.3-2 kernel and now VMware
Workstation 8.0.2 (and 8.0.1) won't compile its modules. Does anyone
know if module patches have been issued. I've been unable to find them.
Secondarily, is anyone here running Workstation 8 with the 2.6.42
kernel?
Thanks!

In a system script I find this snippet
nodevs=$(< /proc/filesystems fgrep rootfs)
and don't understand the syntax. According to the bash man page,
$(< file) is shorthand for $(cat file). But then the above should read
nodevs=$(< /proc/filesystems | fgrep rootfs)
However, the latter leav

On my F13 machine,
find / \! -fstype ext4 -prune -o -print
prints every file that is in an ext4 filesystem mounted on /, and prunes
those in any other type of fs.
On my F15 the same command prints nothing. Why might that be?
