I seem to have tracked this down to the new terminus fonts:

doing a dnf downgrade on them
I've got an old system, unmodified for years. I run emacs 21.2.1
on it using ssh X forwarding to put the emacs window on my
desktop. I've just done an update of my fedora 29 system
after being away for a couple of weeks, and now the fonts
are all messed up.
I'm never absolutely sure about these

Well, in my /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
I have mail_location set like this:
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

it when I gen a new OS

You can put fragments of an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/,
to just override a few defaults, but I have no idea what

I see this bug claims it is related to the PageFlip option
which is enabled by default.

Presumably if you disable PageFlip, the spamming would stop
(and it is probably OK to disable since it isn't working anyway
Are you using the nvidia binary drivers? On my system at
work attempting to exit X (which logging out apparently
does) sometimes seems to crash my system (perhaps 10%
of the time). I stick with nvidia though because the
nouveau drivers crash in the middle of sessions, not waiting
for me to log out
Or if you want something lighter weight, you could use
the bg-dammit program from my web page:

It is similar to nohup, but it really really backgrounds things.

Depends on which Administration menu you are looking at :-).

I have a GeForce GTX 750 Ti in my system at work, using the

Is often a good command to use. It tells you everything
it is trying so you can see what all it failed on.
I've never had any problems with CentOS 7 and new fedora

Some very very old systems are trying to use
I have often see cases where servers apparently got mad
at specific systems and started refusing to allow them to mount

I have fixed this by restarting nfs on the server side.

Looks like it is just a USB stick with bootable linux on it. You can make one

But that wastes time re-downloading all the repos, not just
the update repos (which are presumably the only ones that
might have changed).
