You mentioned you disabled DNF auto updates, but is the packagekit-offline-updates.service unit running? That can also perform updates (via PackageKit->dnf) and reboot. Perhaps the login shell was somehow added to the system-update.target? It’s worth looking at the journal at that time to see what was running. This isn’t a completely unsolvable mystery, all the actions will be in the journal. -- Jonathan Billings -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
