Folks,I previously sent a message regarding my laptop powering off unexpectedly. Here is an
update. Power came back on, but I cannot login to my laptop. When I try to login to the
mate gui it replies with power failure and authentication failure. If I enter ctrl-alt-F1, login
as root I can login. If I then enter su - pgaltieri I can login as me. If I then enter su - pgaltieri
it prompts for password and when I enter my passwd I can login just fine. This problem
occurs on both my systems there were shutdown due to the power outage. What do I
have to do to be able to log in? This is happening with F39 and F40.
Some UPS software blocks non-root logins after sending a "shutdown now" message
when UPS battery capacity is low. If the battery has died, it may continue to broadcast
shutdown messages after power is restored. I think some UPS systems and software
can stay in "shutdown now" mode until the battery can provide the configured run time,
