As I mentioned before, the "plague of 5s" (a term NOT coined by me) was
reported against a specific, (at that time newly released) F22 kernel.
I suppose that your "plague of 8s" might be something similar. Dunno.
I think I was the original plague of 5 reporter. I replaced the keyboard
but the problem did not go away, thought it's less frequent. I'm
suspecting radio interference or something like that. I have 4 things on
my desk doing bluetooth, plus lots of WiFi in the immediate area.
I've moved the logitech dongle so it sits 3" from keyboard and the 5s
are gone.
I am getting random brief lockups in Gnome, but I suspect that's
something else.
When F23 comes out, I'm doing a clean install.
