strange thing happened last night. i was browsing internet and suddenly a small dialog box pops up that says shutting down. i have no idea why. i dont think it's a hardware issue. i ran a memtest and passed. i looked through some logs and nothing jumped out at me, even though i cant make sense of much of it.
could the site i was visiting possibly send a shutdown signal? nah right.
what logs should i be looking at specifically for this kind of thing?
using mint 18.3
kernel 4.15.0-47
mint just shutdown

Re: mint just shutdown
maybe a dumb suggestion but are you on a laptop with a bad/weak battery? all 4 of my laptops have old batteries that say fully charged but only last 10 minutes, tops, and then computer shuts down instantly!

Re: mint just shutdown
Overheating can be another factor.
command should give the temperature.

Re: mint just shutdown
