What confuses me is according to the apcupsd.conf file NOLOGON is disabled.  So it should never have created the nologin file in /etc to block me from being able to login as a normal user.  Also there is no way to tell apcupsd that it's a laptop.  So when there is 5 minutes left on the UPS battery apcupsd will initiate a system shutdown. This is great for one of my systems but not for the laptop which can run without mains.

Folks,
  I previously sent a message regarding my laptop powering off unexpectedly.  Here is an update.  Power came back on, but I cannot login to my laptop.  When I try to login to the mate gui it replies with power failure and authentication failure.  If I enter ctrl-alt-F1, login as root  I can login. If I then enter su - pgaltieri I can login as me.  If I then enter su - pgaltieri it prompts for password and when I enter my passwd I can login just fine.  This problem occurs on both my systems there were shutdown due to the power outage.  What do I have to do to be able to log in?  This is happening with F39 and F40.

This would all make sense if you have the UPS control connected to the laptop.  I suggest you unplug that for now to get normal use of your laptop.
