ionmich After I leave the computer running for a short while, the graphical interface screen goes black with a cursor I can move. I would expect a prompt to show up asking me to log in again, but nothing. A terminal is available using CTL+ALT+F3 and I can reboot, so the OS is still running.
brent ionmich yikes you are having a day, I have these days too. check for broken packages in terminal: eopkg check there's reinstall scripts do a search here. I'll let others take it from here. still gotta work, eat, exercise. good luck.
