Hi Mechanic,

Thanks a lot for testing the kernels.

Which issues have you seen with the kernel 4.19 on Fienix?

Cheers,

Hi Christian,
On a fresh install the 4.19 works just fine. However, after doing a full upgrade when selecting the Mate Terminal it will pop the terminal window open and immediately it disappears. So pretty much it becomes unusable.

Hi Christian
I found a solution. It was kernel 4.19 that was the problem. Tried kernel 5.4 and got boot error. Tried 4.20 and booted fine and Mate terminal works.

Tried kernel 5.4 and got boot error.

Hi Peter,

Please post the boot error.

I compiled the latest longterm kernel 4.19.85 today. Unfortunately the issue with the MATE Terminal still exists. I can't solve it because I don't see any error messages after the crash. I tried it with gdb but without any success.

The MATE Terminal also crashes with the longterm kernel 4.14.

I tried 4.19 on my fresh install, and the Mate Terminal works. However, this install did not get a full upgrade, only selected programs have been installed or upgraded. So where the problem lays is anybody's guess. Chalk it up to one of Doctor Strangelove's predictions.
