Hi Terry, > I have posted the output of journalctl at > https://hadrian-way.co.uk/Misc/journal.txt.
I see the kernel version has changed over time. Does one of these match when problems started? Oct 09 06:27:45 Linux version 6.2.0-34-generic Oct 21 06:49:29 Linux version 6.2.0-35-generic Oct 31 06:45:38 Linux version 6.2.0-36-generic Nov 03 07:10:43 Linux version 6.5.0-10-generic > There are several instances of chromium being flagged prior to the big > crash, which I think was sometime around 0724 (I honestly can't > remember when it occurred, but the next reboot at 0726 stayed up until > 0916, when I think I was trying to get my desktop back. I see a couple of recent ‘-- Boot’ which aren't preceded by an orderly shutdown. The first suggests attempts to reduce power consumption.

It might explain the unexpected shutdown when the machine was highly loaded for a while. Though of course what you really want is to stop the runaway load. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Online, Jitsi, Tuesday, 2023-12-05 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
