The mail server I use for fedora is not mine and it was down for a bit.

I just discovered something interesting:
None of the accounts on my machine will login with Xorg.
The option is offered, but is does not work.
In what sense, *exactly*, "does not work"?
I could not login.
The screen would blink.
Sometimes I would briefly see a cursor.
I'd be back at the login screen.
I remember an old X problem where you'd try to log in and get an
immediate failure that threw you back to the login greeter due to wrong
directory permissions on /tmp.
*Working* example:
[tim@rocky ~]$ ll -d /tmpdrwxrwxrwt. 18 root root 12288 Jun 21 07:08 /tmp
hennebry@2001-48F8-3004-2CE-0-0-0-D31E-dynamic:~$ ls -ld /tmp
drwxrwxrwt. 23 root root 540 Jun 20 22:23 /tmp
I found the Xorg log in ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log .
Here is the tail end after a failed attempt to login:

I'm aware that this an old machine and that I
will have to make do with software video.
That was already the case with F38.
At the moment, I cannot play local videos,
but firefox can play videos.
