F18 - systemd question
by Cristian Sava
Why /var/log/tmp looks like this and systemd-private dirs are never
automatically deleted, even at reboot?

Fedora 18 network freeze after a while...
by Georgios Petasis
Hi all,
I am facing a very strange problem after upgrading to fedora 18: while
the system works ok (I use the machine through vnc),
after some time (which can range from 30 minutes to a few hours) all
network interaction rapidly deteriorates, until network is no
more useful (i.e. I cannot even ssh to the machine).
How can I find out why this is happening? I didn't had any problems with
fedora 17, and I have tested the RAM, which showed no errors.
Regards,
George

Hello,
It looks like that the command:

It was very convenient to open 2 X sessions.

F18 - restart the X server
by Kevin Wilson
Hi,
What is the shortcut for restarting the X server?
In old fedora distros it was "alt + ctrl + left arrow".
Now it does not work and there is no such shortcut in "System
setting->keyboard->shortcuts".

For Fedora 18 the 'usr' tree should be on the root partition. I think
that's clear. See [0] and [1] for details and justification.

Honestly I would recommend a repartition and reinstall. Sorry that's not
a great answer, it's just what I would do. I'm sure that other people on
the list can give much better ideas should you need to perform that
upgrade.
Thanks,
