I just installed bisq-desktop 1.9.21-1 (AUR) using Pamac. All works fine, except when I shut it down it freezes at this point

[Timer-0] INFO b.c.a.BisqExecutable: PersistenceManager flushAllDataToDiskAtShutdown started
Before that it shows no errors or warnings. Everything says shutdown completed.
I reinstalled the package several times; including wiping the cradle directory for a clean install. In previous versions this error did not come up.
I do not, however, from the warnings presented one can likely presume the problem is with the application itself.

Judging from the package info - it requires jdk11-openjdk

Verify your java installation
archlinux-java status
Then set the correct environment before launching the application.
sudo archlinux-java set java11-openjdk
Other than that - contact the maintainer of the AUR script → if that doesn’t help contact the develooper(s).
Available Java environments:
java-11-openjdk (default)
java-17-openjdk
I used your command anyway just to make sure
sudo archlinux-java set java-11-openjdk
but the freeze is still happening. This time there was one last warning before the freeze

Yes, maybe I should contact the maintainer/developers. Thanks!
Have you tried replacing bisq-desktop with the pre-compiled binary, bisq-bin to see if the issue still occurs? It can be installed via Pamac’s GUI or via the command line:
pamac build bisq-bin
It uses the version of java-runtime which is in the repos, instead of the much older jdk11-openjdk which is required by bisq-desktop:

You might even want to try the bisq2 package from the AUR which, according to the Bisq2 Downloads page:
Bisq2 Downloads
Currently offering the Bisq Easy protocol — a simple way for new users to get started with Bitcoin. Development of the next-generation, multisig-based trade protocol for Bisq 2 is underway.
Note that bisq2 does require installation of tor as a dependency:

I tried bisq-bin, but unfortunately the error/freeze still occurs.
Also instead of java-11-openjdk and java-17-openjdk I tried using java-25-openjdk without any changes.
In my understanding bisq2 is a completely different thing; it’s not offering the whole market like bisq 1.9.21-1
I mean, the program runs, even at shutdown it writes all the changes to the disk (according to log files); it is just at the end the GUI refuses to quit, idk.
Interestingly, on the day you started this topic, I installed bisq-bin to test on my system. The same incomplete shutdown occurred when I closed the window after a minute or so.
However, I just tried again, and this time I waited until it had finished syncing with the Bitcoin Mainnet (indicated at bottom left of the window). Closing the window then completed successfully (on both occasions I tried it):

So maybe bisq-bin closes incompletely if it has not yet fully synced with the Bitcoin Mainnet?
I should note that I do not have anything to do with cryptocurrencies, so the only testing I can do is opening and closing the bisq-bin application. I will be removing it from my system after I finish writing this post.
If the issue continues, you could read through the comments at the bottom of the relevant AUR pages to see if any other Arch-based distro users are experiencing the same thing:
There is also a Bisq forum:
The GitHub Issues page might also be worth browsing - make sure you look at both Open & Closed issues:
Very good point. I made sure everything was synced, but for me it still freezes.
Here in the comments one user suggested to use jre11-openjdk and jre11-openjdk-headless instead of jdk-openjdk; so I tried, but nothing changed. The error still persits.
Thank you for your help. I will keep an eye out and try different ways when I find them.
If I find the solution I’ll post it here.
