MGA5 Random logout on software installation

[endat]

Sometimes when installing software I am abruptly logged out and never given confirmation of the status of the installation.. like just now when I installed a network printer (and the 36 dependencies). I lose everything I am working on, my VM is killed and I am presented with a login screen.. no warning whatsoever!

What command output or log files can I post that will elaborate on the issue? If this is a new feature, how can I disable it?

Sounds like your X session is getting killed, maybe by the out of memory killer from the kernel - but definitely no normal behaviour.

Best would be to run as root

Code: Select all

journalctl -ab > journal.log

and attach the resulting file journal.log here, and mention the timestamps where this issue occured.
Please also add some more information on your system, like which graphic card/driver, what amount of RAM and what desktop environment you're using.
