   Apropos I updated the Ubuntu box yesterday. Everything was going good   
   until kdump stalled out at 98% while copying the new kernel. After an hour   
   or so I started killing stuff. 'sudo systemctl reboot' failed to reboot so   
   I cycled the power. It came up and stopped at the initial screen with the   
   circle for so long I thought it was going to fail but it finally made it.   
      
   I've got to say Ubuntu is trying to outdo Microsoft. Updates seldom go   
   smoothly and version upgrades need manual intervention.   
      
   Meanwhile the Fedora and Arch boxes quietly do their thing despite their   
   reputation of breaking stuff.
