So why does the kernel RPM behave differently? The trick is "dnf install" only installs/updates things that you specify on the command line. "dnf update" (or "dnf upgrade" which is preferred) looks at what's already installed on the system and updates those. So unless you _specified_ the kernel on the "dnf install" command line, it won't get upgraded. > I will see if the new kernel helps with this Chrome / YT problem now ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
