ipv6 breakage

IPv6 under f20, f19 and f18 has been rock solid for me this past year. Now in, the last few days, yum updates have brought some lossage that requires a periodic reboot to get IPv6 connections to the internet back. I can't immediately see what the problem is. The outward-facing interface still ha

"find" problem

How (or why) does this bash script snippet work?

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

Is it possible to get one backdrop image in F16 to span both monitors in a dual-monitor setup? I'm using xfce4 and the desktop settings tool seems to only offer a per-monitor image selection. Is there some way of selecting one image perhaps from gconfig directly? Ditto for the login screen. Ha
