So far it’s been pretty smooth for the most part a few issues (printer related) and a couple other things I was able to hop on and help her.

There’s one issue that has puzzling me though and I need some help. Every so often while she is using the computer her monitors go dark and the computer becomes unresponsive, I asked her to try ctrl alt f1, f2, etc to no effect. The only thing that fixes this is pressing the power key until the computer turns off. I tried checking the journalctl logs but didn’t see anything of note. What else can I check?

    I’ll have to setup ssh.

    1. Desktop
    2. Its connected with a DVI cable through a kvm switch (we verified it wasn’t on the wrong input)
    3. Will try this
    4. I’m not sure, but the monitor is clearly on with the black screen backlit during the issue.
