Re: kernel: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR unknown event type 37 - Kernel 4.19.13

OK, I finally got one... but there was only 1 journal log entry. The
previous time there were like maybe 10 (also very little), but the 2
times before that had enough for me to have to page through the log.

I actually messed up on a variable in my script so missed the actual
time, but the trace still encompassed entries around the log entry
time when I copied it manually.
I fixed the script, tested it and have it running again for the next time.

GZip compressed the 1GB trace down to 43MB, but PLZip got it down to
19.5MB: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AkkOvekTOCrYn0kEFtJzreV7gCTD
All 3 files are from the same trace, but wanted to give you options in
case you didn't have plzip.
The journal entry (time): [501180.585516] computername kernel:
xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ERROR unknown event type 37
