[nmglug] mint 20 shutting down

Sun May 15 17:37:59 PDT 2022

Still doing it.

USB has power.  Keyboard caps-lock light responds.  Machine not 
responding to ping.

I frittered about, then rebooted.

It seems to have been "up", but screen was blank, and ethernet not 
responding.

Boring review of logs follows:

********************

Logs show a loop like:

perhaps pressing keys did a login that never displayed?  I think I 
checked ping AFTER that

Then I plugged keyboard to another USB port:

then I gave up and hit power button, and it rebooted:
