I have to power off the computer twice before it will shut down.

I am also facing this phenomenon in the current Testing branch.

In my case, it is Cinnamon, not Gnome.

I think it will be cured naturally in time. I experienced the same condition for a few weeks in Q4 last year. I am not particularly worried about it.

Thanks for the reply. I’m not too worried either, not a serious issue by any means.

DIS kernel memo
catchy 6.13 no problem
endeavour 6.13 no problem
manjaro 6.12LTS noGood
manjaro 6.13 no problem

cathy |6.13| no problem
endeavour| 6.13 | no problem
manjaro |6.12LTS| noGood
manjaro |6.13| no problem

I don’t know if this will be helpful. I live in Testing branch.

I had decided to use only Kernel LTS this year, but I changed my mind.
The problem disappeared in 6.13. It may be a coincidence.

$ uname -r
6.13.1-2-MANJARO

Interesting, I’m using 6.6.74 right now but if the problem persists then I may switch it up. I don’t think it’s been happening anymore! Haven’t paid close enough attention XD

Thanks for the info!

I’ve got 6.13.2-1-MANJARO-RPI5 on my pi, but on my main, it’s got 6.12.12-2-MANJARO intel based system, with no shutdown issue.

Sounds very strange to me - the only reason I know of - which may cause slow shutdown is watchdog.

I have been through almost all kernels using Intel and AMD based systems - currently on linux-next (kernel.org).

I am reading dozens of topics lately - all referring to unexpected shutdowns and all with a common denominator - AMD APU or CPU.

@n_b is your system AMD APU based?

For AMD Ryzen systems I would suggest check the BIOS version in inxi -M
and BIOS updates on manufacturer’s website

GA-AB350-Gaming (rev. 1.x) Support | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global

ROG Strix X570-F Gaming | Motherboards | ROG Global

Yes. I tried updating the BIOS but could never get it to work.

edit: I’d like to add that I messaged Gigabyte when I had this problem and they told me there was no point to updating the BIOS.
