Solution 1:[1]

your system is being switched by your audit daemon which is happening in the first line of your log not the exiting on sig 15

I'd check the space on your disk ( and also look at the audit daemon config ) as the "single" option for "space left " will cause the audit daemon to change you to single user mode.

if you don't need the audit daemon i'd turn it off. if you do check its config.

on Ubuntu the config file is /etc/audit/auditd.conf if you are using another linux flavor it may be in a different location
