Adding "period" is no help. "Stop", on its own, is just so ambiguous.
What exactly stops, the process — or the computer.

In real life, we use the circumstances to decide on the meaning.
If I reported that I "stopped the car" because I saw a ball rolling
into the road, you'd assume I didn't cut the engine. If I said it
was because I saw a dust-devil barrelling down the road, you'd
assume I stopped both the car and engine.

Again, I have no idea what this means. None of my keyboards has
ever reported anything, to my knowledge.

Ah, is this because you nuked it (whatever we understand by
the term "nuked")?

If your machine is utterly unable to avoid installing it, perhaps
you'll have to read its documentation in a little more depth and
learn how to prevent it from finding a device to talk to.

Or can you blacklist the snd modules? What do you use sound for
on this computer? Is it essential for its task, which I assume
is something to do with a lathe? Or are you still playing videos,
logging in to your bank, and machining stuff, all on the same
computer? (I realise that's a loaded question.)

Cheers,
David.



yes. Just not all at the same time.


Since last post, I found the install logs, and BRLTTY is listed in the hardware file, as if its a mobo feature. And reading the DIY Guid from Asus, there is a tools menu where some stiff that is not list, can be controlled so the next time it forces me to reboot I will check that menu. There is not any mention of brltty in the whole 100+ pages of the book.  But its listed like this in the hardware-resources file:
/proc/bus/input/devices: I: Bus=0000 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000 
/proc/bus/input/devices: N: Name="BRLTTY 6.3 Linux Screen Driver Keyboard" 
/proc/bus/input/devices: P: Phys=pid-221/brltty/11 
/proc/bus/input/devices: S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input14 
/proc/bus/input/devices: U: Uniq= 
/proc/bus/input/devices: H: Handlers=sysrq kbd event9  
/proc/bus/input/devices: B: PROP=0 
/proc/bus/input/devices: B: EV=100003 
/proc/bus/input/devices: B: KEY=402000007 ffc03078f800d2a9 f2beffdfffefffff fffffffffffffffe



Does that look like its part of the mobo, and might be disable-able in the bios->tools menu, which is otherwise ignored in the users DIY manual???  In which case it might solve my problem, but would involve yet another install just to get the installer to get rid of it. IDK.
