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.
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?
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.
