Right now I'm feverish with some respiratory virus and paying attention 
to emails sporadically. I noticed I have to register for the bug 
reporting, but before doing so I need to know how I can dig for more 
info. Would there be a specific log file I should consult? I did an 
update yesterday and the day before. In the latter case it was to the 
latest kernel, and yesterday I saw a systemd update get installed, to no 
avail. Nothing has changed - reboots and shutdowns still hang.
