Thanks Rex. I am using Vmware to run Fedora. I'm not sure what driver I'm
using because like with the display manager I'm using, I've forgotten the
command to find out as I don't use it all the time. My issue is slightly
different to the bug in that I am using gdm, and I am getting popups about
apps getting segmentation faults. I did notice in the bug report that a
patch had been developed and someone reporting that it fixed his issue, and
I've noticed this morning that there are more updates, so they may have
released the patch, and if so I'll see if it rectifies my issue as well.
Similar here:
I have linux on a VM on Virtual Box on OS X, and my KDE session is not starting up.
I haven't found any errors logged so far.
Per bug comment
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1919696#c12, I'm about
to try the fix that was pushed to updates-testing.
