Hey Daniel, The other thing I noticed in the the boot logs are a seemingly futile loop:
Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/share/gdm/greeter/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/var/lib/gdm3/.config/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/share/gdm/greeter/gnome/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/local/share/gnome/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/share/gnome/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/etc/xdg/autostart' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/var/lib/gdm3/.local/share/applications' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/share/gdm/greeter/applications' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/local/share/applications' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: Looking in '/usr/share/applications' Jan 22 11:38:36 HackBook /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-wayland-session[1419]: gnome-session-binary[1430]: DEBUG(+): GsmUtil: found in XDG dirs: '/etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Housekeeping.desktop' This appears first at 11:38:36 in the first boot log, and then repeats over and over and over until the machine turns off. The same loop appears in longhangprevboot2.txt and starts at 12:21:55. What is the machine trying to do here? I suspect that this is what's happening in the background when the computer hangs, and it may even describe why it does not record the whole boot sequence for the 20 minutes after it hangs. Thoughts? I have not used Ubuntu 16.04, nor Lubuntu 18.04.1. I'll download Lubuntu and see how that works out. But, I am a little concerned about getting it to install correctly. Whenever I try to get the computer to recognize the CD image and to boot from it, I have to spam "1" and "Enter" over and over and sometimes it works. Have you run into this issue before?
