Folks,
I have 2 issues with F40 and F40. One of them is frustrating the
other a genuine problem.
First the genuine problem. I have VMware installed on my system and
every time I install kernel updates the compilation of the vmmon and
vmnet VMware modules fail.
here is an excerpt of the issue:
>>> ./include/linux/rwlock.h:56:48: note: in definition of macro
'read_lock'
>>> 56 | #define read_lock(lock) _raw_read_lock(lock)
>>> | ^~~~
>>> /tmp/git/vmware-host-modules/vmnet-only/bridge.c:587:4: note: in
expansion o
>>> 587 | dev_lock_list();
>>> | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
On another system I download the VMware modules from
https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git
and the apply the following patch
--- a/vmnet-only/vmnetInt.h
+++ b/vmnet-only/vmnetInt.h
@@ -41,8 +41,13 @@

+#endif
extern struct proto vmnet_proto;
and the kernel builds without issues.
The reason I mention this error is that this failure occurs during the
kernel update and not when I try to build the VMware modules.
Now for the frustrating issue.
I run the MATE desktop and since F40 I see a strange problem with
mate-terminal. I have MATE configured to remember running application
on logout so they are restarted when I login. At the time I logout my
mate-terminals are 24x80. When I log back in they are 7x42. New ones
are 24x80. So every time I login I have to resize my terminals. This
is frustrating. This problem only occurs with the MATE desktop and
mate-terminal combination. If I run gnome-terminal or xfce-terminal
under MATE they remain at 24x80. If I run Xfce desktop and run
mate-terminal it remains 24x80 through logout and login. This does not
happen with F39. I don't know what changed to cause this. I first
noticed this after upgrading a system from F39 -> F40. This issue also
happens with F40 and F41 virtual machines and with F40 Server and doing
a groupinstall of the MATE desktop.
I don't know where MATE saves the session information to see if the
problem is when MATE saves the current desktop state.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Paolo
