I do not mess with my system files so I am a bit confused as to how to
track this down. Is there a
verbose mode which allows me to see what to do?
Try running emacs as newly created user to rule out something in your ~/.emacs.d or some shell startup script creating variables that confuse emacs. Have you tried "emacs -nw" for text mode to rule out a GUI issue?
It might help to have a simple example with a description of what happens. If emacs is failing due to some conflict with libraries you might see an error with journalctl. Make a note of the time the error occurs to help identify related errors.
I have emacs-ess also installed (from Fedora 36) that has not been updated and is probably obsolete or retired.
Probably good to remove that old package. You can reinstall from upstream source if Fedora 39 doesn't have a package.
