Thanks Ed. I installed and ran that command and it gave me the following output:
Display: wayland server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: vmwgfx
The driver shown is the same driver when running Gnome on Xorg.
The "driver" is not important. vmwgfx is the video driver used by your guest
and is
the VMWare-gfx driver.
The important thing is "wayland server".
The command also showed me the following:
mobo: Intel model: 440BX Desktop Reference Platform
What does this info mean as my motherboard I thought was AMD and not Intel as
I'm running an AMD Ryzen cpu?
Sure.... Remember you're running Fedora in a VMWare Virtual Machine. VMWare
is emulating HW.
The mobo VMWare emulates is an Intel 440BX.
So, all the HW that inxi reports is emulated HW.
Thanks Ed, I wasn't aware it emulated the motherboard as well.
Just one further question, how do I determine the dimensions of a 'Gnome
Terminal' Window? What I have just found is that if I click and hold the bottom
right hand corner of the window and scale the window, the issue occurs once I
scale past certain dimensions, whereas if I use 'konsole' instead of 'Gnome
Terminal' it doesn't matter what dimensions I run 'Konsole' at the issue does
not occur.
I think you need to be a bit clearer.
When you run konsole, are you running it in the KDE Plasma Destop or the GNOME
desktop?
I'm running konsole on the Gnome desktop. It doesn't exhibit the issue
when I get a full window when the window is maximised as Gnome terminal
does, but if I try to select and text in the window it then exhibits the
issue by removing the text I attempted to highlight.
Also, I only keep about 2 weeks of messages from this list on my server so I
may have forgotten somethings.
I seem to recall you have both GNOME and KDE desktops installed on F31. So,
how about trying one more
thing? Instead of using gdm, switch to sddm. sddm being the display manager
supplied by KDE.
Switch by doing
sudo systemctl --force enable sddm
And then reboot.
The inxi -GxxSMza command will should now show "Display: x11 server".
Then see how your GNOME desktop works.
I forced the swap of display manager and rebooted the system.
Inxi -GxxSMaz gave me the following output:
Display: wayland server: Fedora Project X.org 1.20.6 driver: vmware
Even though it is using a different driver the issue still occurs.
I thought the issue might be being caused by setting the font scaling
factor in Tweak Tools->Fonts to 1.5, as windows does, but setting it to
1 made no difference to the issue.
regards,
Steve
