I have no idea if this is the problem, but back when I was in the troubleshooting Macs business one problem I ran into was the PRAM battery (yes, wrong name, but...) going bad. It would cause all sorts of mysterious problems until replaced.
The way of checking for this was to: 1. On a Friday make sure that the system time was set. 2. Disconnect the computer from all network connections, and unplug it from power. 3. Leave it over the weekend unplugged. 4. If the time was wrong when you booted up on Monday, then you found your problem. Of course this was with desktops, And a number of years ago. > On May 7, 2020, at 11:39 AM, Michael <[email protected]> wrote: > > This is unhappy for me also; I have gotten two panics in just about a week. > > Absolutely nothing odd recorded in the system log. > > Meanwhile, on reboot, I see this message in the log: > > May 7 11:09:28 keybounceMBP apsd[141]: Failed to evaluate trust: No error. > (0), result=5; retrying with revocation checking optional > May 7 11:09:28 keybounceMBP apsd[141]: failed to evaluate trust: No error. > (0), result=5; retrying with system roots > May 7 11:09:28 keybounceMBP apsd[141]: Root certificate is not explicitly > trusted > May 7 11:09:28 keybounceMBP apsd[141]: Unrecognized leaf certificate > May 7 11:09:30 keybounceMBP SecurityAgent[215]: User info context values set > for >console > May 7 11:09:30 keybounceMBP loginwindow[120]: Login Window - Returned from > Security Agent > > What would make "Failure to evaluate trust: no error"? > > Would this be in any way related to some https web sites now refusing to work > because the certificate chain cannot be verified (the website in question is > just fine). > > OS: 10.9.5. > > System crash reporter directory shows nothing.
