Hi All,
Not sure how to go about trouble shooting this issue.
logout screen shows up in the middle of using the session, even while typing sometimes.
Could be OS, could be malfunctioning software something running on it, could be hardware? Faltering power supply? Computer stays on.
Some details:
At first couple weeks ago, seemed to happen zero or once in a sitting session of a few hours.
It seemed to be maybe always towards the beginning of the session and maybe 15-30 minutes into it (but not sure).
I was not sure if there was some hotspot or keyboard combo accidentally going off, but I’m not past that.
Now lately past few days, it will happen multiple times, 4, 5, 6 times in a session of a few hours. It has happened just now back to back 3 times, when it does, I have to log in and I lose whatever text in the browser typing field, but all programs appear to remain running.
As if I just logged into the computer from a power down.
The clipboard does retain copied text.
I’m not sure if this is OS, software, or hardware.
This is a server and the front light for the power is blinking red right now, it was green when i powered up.
Haven’t caught that in the act for sure yet tho.
definitely not overheating:

Thoughts?
this is OpenSuse Leap 15.2 but I do run whatever updates it suggests each day.
Thanks
I am curious, is the some operating system protocol or something which the server hardware could be inducing into showing the logoff shutdown login screen?
My current main suspicion is that there is some power supply instability and the server goes to that screen, but since i am sitting there using it, i just click login and proceed.
This page seems to show that blinking red led is a problem, at this moment it is now blinking amber.

Any pointers welcome on the mechanism the server may be using to speak to OS about it?
THANKS!
It’s hard to tell what the problem is. You haven’t even indicated what desktop environment you are using.
I did have a computer that shutdown mysteriously. It was a 10 year old system, and I’m pretty sure that it was due to a failing power supply. But it’s hard to guess whether that is your problem.
How does the inside of the case look?
[HR][/HR]OK. roaches used to be an issue with DEC VAXes in industrial environments … >:)
While looking, check for swollen electrolytic capacitors in the power supply.
