Issues with power down and Boot up KDE plasma

[UIlysseus17]

Recently I’ve been running into an issue on the KDE plasma desktop where 1 of two things happens.

1. I utilize the shutdown option in the GUI interface (or restart option) and the computer screen goes black the mouse stays on and it does not shutdown.
2. I utilize the console command sudo halt … and the last time I tested this it took literally 1 hour to actually turn off the tower.

Also, if I force shut down the system by pressing and holding the power button the the tower well when I reboot Manjaro doesn’t connect to the internet until I restart the system. Regardless of restarting the network adapter.

I’m not getting any specific errors.

Keys to my setup:

I have an nvme running REHL (Rocky) and Windows. A secondary 512 GB Nvme that runs my Manjaro Linux Distro. ---- So I triple boot. I don’t think that has anything to do with this issue, because it only started happening in the last week.

6.10.13-3-MANJARO is the kernel version.

Any Advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Not sure if anyone has had this issue.

same?

KDE don't shut down anymore since last update

Do you have saved session? Set start with empty. After successfully shutting down that way … its reported saved sessions work normally again in most cases. ~ Retroactively quoting illustration ~

Do yourself a favor and do this instead:

Run this command in the terminal:

echo 'kernel.sysrq=1' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-reisub.conf 

This will create the file /etc/sysctl.d/99-reisub.conf, containing the single line kernel.sysrq=1 (it does not have to be named 99-reisub.conf, but the name is good because you’ll know what it does, it is the location of the file and its contents that are important). Alternatively, you can create this file using a terminal-based text editor, like vim or nano with sudo.


Reboot for the change to take place.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll give that a go.

Morning All,

question in the room, shouldn’t the kernel be also updated to 6.11.2?
Since the announcement says that kernel 6.10 has been marked [EOL]?

Greetings

@Daumeier

shouldn’t the kernel be also updated to 6.11.2?

Kernel 6.12 (LTS) will be available sometime in November, according to a post from @philm recently.

You could update to 6.11, or if your current kernel isn’t causing any grief, just wait for the new LTS.
