The crash is so bad that the virtual machine (vmware player) in which this 42.2 system is running can not be powered off.
Many virtualization frontends have a default that the red icon is configured to do the soft off event. Just go to Settings..
It is supposed to do the hard thing. But it probably first talks to the vmtoolsd daemon in the client.
It is normally an ACPI event, and if I am not mistaken, systemd handles the softoff ACPI event these days. No tools involved.
I thought it was a power supply event. At least after two seconds. Cut the cable. How does one cut the cable in vmware? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
