Today's update just crashed my system during install. It automatically rebooted, asked to run a partial upgrade (I clicked yes) and it installed a number of items. Then it asked to remove 7 items and did so. My system seems fine now, but this has never occurred before.

I run a Libreboot Thinpad X200.

Thanks.

Update: I left my Thinkpad unattended for a couple hours this afternoon and then came back. It had automatically rebooted. This has never happened before.

Reboot occurred at !6:04. Last entry before reboot is at 13:48 in yellow.

Partial Syslog is attached.

Any ideas?

I do not see in those logs anything that would explain the reboot. If no battery was plugged, the reason may be an electrical instability.

Thanks Magic Banana. There was both a battery installed and an a/c adapter.

The problem started with the latest update. The machine suddenly rebooted in the middle of the update and then did a partial update. A second random reboot occurred today.

The reboot puzzles me. I had a bad battery once and it randomly died, but no reboot. I had to manually restart.

I will continue to monitor.

Thanks.

That has happened to me as a result of a power blink at my house.

Magic Banana-
I just tried something. I went to Synaptic and clicked Fix Broken Packages. It returned "fixed broken dependencies." So something was awry.

I also checked Synaptic for upgrades. The were numerous available including abrowser, and various acpi and python functions, among many others.

Perhaps my failed update was not fixed by the partial update?

Out of caution, I have not run a synaptic upgrade yet.

Since the reboot happened during an upgrade, /var/log/apt/term.log (or a gzipped older log) will tell us what it was doing right before.

I checked var/log/apt/term.log and it is blank. File size is zero. Last month and prior logs are saved as .gz through the end of March with all the details. Nothing for April. Maybe term.log is not running?

The file opens with pluma by default but shows no contents. The gz files open fine. Do I need to use another app?
