MacOS Sonoma: Issues with fullscreen and menubar in Horizon Client

givesoftwarepls — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 08:54:04 GMT

Hi all, I've noticed that with MacOS Sonoma and its new useless option "show and hide menu bar" fullscreen stopped working correctly for the Horizon client.

When you open the client everything works as usual but as soon as you minimize Horizon and then make it fullscreen again the menubar and the windows header starts appearing every time you move the mouse to the top of the screen. It does not behave like a real full screen app anymore, basically it replicates the behaviour of normal applications (e.g. web browser, terminal) when enlarged to cover all the screen. Definitely not what is needed in this case and completely different from the old behaviour.

I've tried fixing it changing the above option or setting LSUIPresentationMode in the application plist but neither of those fix it. Anyone had more luck with this?

VMware nested under KVM on Ryzen stopped working on 5.19 kernel: Invalid VMCB.

My setup:

Host: Ubuntu Linux 22.04, kernel 5.15, Ryzen 5900x

Hypervisor: KVM

Windows VM with VMware Workstation 16

Running nested VMs in VMware works ok.

It fails if Linux host kernel is updated to 5.19 with

MONITOR PANIC: Invalid VMCB.
VMware Workstation unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0)
vcpu-0:Invalid VMCB.

If I update to Workstation 17 it fails with

2023-02-24T15:21:35.112Z In(05) vmx The following features are required for SVM support in VMware Workstation; however, these features are not available on this host:
2023-02-24T15:21:35.112Z In(05) vmx Flush by ASID.
This host supports AMD-V, but the AMD-V implementation is incompatible with VMware Workstation.
VMware Workstation does not support the user level monitor on this host.
Module 'MonitorMode' power on failed.

The same VM works ok on 5.19 kernel on my Intel PC.

So it has to do with updated Linux kernel and AMD virtualization.

Have someone has this issue. Using CPU that support Virtualization and already enable it on BIOS, but on Windows it show system not support Virtualization.. which make it unable to run VM on VMware Workstation?
