Public bug reported: This issue is completely random, and I haven't noticed anything in any log to tie it into. I have not discovered any reported issues that mirror this problem.
After upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04, system has simply powered off at completely random intervals, during inactivity. As long as I'm actively using it, everything is fine. But if system is unattended, it may shut down. This did not occur under 8.10. It does not suspend or hibernate. It is a hard power-off action. You can see in these log captures, that a shutdown occurred at 07:57 and I restarted at 08:07. There seems to be nothing in the logs to give a hint of what is leading to this. If there is somewhere else I can look, please advise. Unfortunately, this never happens when I am actually watching the system, even if it's idle, so I've never noticed anything that can clue me in to the cause. This most recent shutdown occurred after 4 days of uptime, which is the longest it's gone yet. I was away from the system for no more than 15 minutes. Thus far, these incidents have been completely unpredictable. A system info file is attached (generic H/W details), and log entries are pasted here. ---------------- Syslog May 15 07:47:12 Megatron dhclient: DHCPREQUEST of 172.19.67.241 on eth0 to 172.19.67.254 port 67 May 15 07:47:12 Megatron dhclient: DHCPACK of 172.19.67.241 from 172.19.67.254 May 15 07:47:12 Megatron dhclient: bound to 172.19.67.241 -- renewal in 888 seconds.
