emacs freezes after today's F36 update
by Ranjan Maitra
Hi,
Following today's update to emacs to 28.1, what I get is an interminable "Loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/ess-init.el (source)..."
The window freezes and pretty much spawns a process, with the solution that the emacs process has to be killed.
I do have emacs-ess and emacs-common-ess installed, and that may be a problem, but I am not sure how to track or fix it.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

"Easier" is in the eye of the beholder. Vi is modal, which trips many
people up when they first use it. It even trips me up occasionally
since the current versions permit certain edit actions even when in
non-edit mode.
OTOH, Emacs has been called Escape Mode Alt Control Shift for good
reason, but one thing I like about it is that it's easy (when you know
how ...) to find the key combo for any function, and of course it has
always been extensible, something vi certainly wasn't in its early
versions.
Choose your poison.

No argument there! Back when I was studying programming, using CP/M,
the school provided MINCE (MINCE Is Not Completely Emacs) as our editor.
When I started playing around with Linux, I tried learning Emacs but
never got comfortable with it. I think that one of the things that
endears me to nano is that it still uses ^G instead of the
drain-bramaged Ctrl+G that you see so often.

Update to f36: problem with wine libvkd3d-1.dll not found
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I was using an application (Booktab for reading school manuals) that
worked in fedora 35.
After updating to fedora 36 when I run it I get:
$ pwd
/home/g.cecchi/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Booktab
$ wine ./Booktab.exe
002c:fixme:winediag:LdrInitializeThunk wine-staging 7.12 is a testing
version containing experimental patches.
002c:fixme:winediag:LdrInitializeThunk Please mention your exact version
when filing bug reports on winehq.org.

Any hint on how to use it again?
BTW: do I have to worry about the message above "wine-staging 7.12 is a
testing version containing experimental patches"? Why this choice in case?
Thanks,
Gianluca

qemu crashes kernel-5.18.11-200.fc36.x86_64
by Sam Varshavchik
Am I the only one lucky enough to have kernel-5.18.11-200.fc36.x86_64 crash
reliably, on particular hardware, after starting a VM in virt-manager?
At least I think it's a crash. One second after a VM start it's brick-city.
Display frozen, no response from the network. I've got nothing: after a
reboot there's nothing in journalctl -r -b -1. This brings up fond memories
-- ages ago I had a null modem adapter hooked up to a serial port, the
kernel configured for a serial console, thusly I was able to capture OOPSes
over the serial console, in situations like these.
But, these days, no more RS-232 ports. I dimly recall that a USB-serial
option is possible; but I don't have any of that in any case.
Anyway, reverting to 5.18.9 made this VM happy, and my VMs on another
hardware, also running the same kernel, are also fine. But, 5.18.11 gets
reliably clusterfarked by qemu on at least on some hardware combinations. I
wish I had more useful data points, but I've got nuthin' worth putting into
Bugzilla.
