A couple of week or so ago - after a standard update - my system began to refuse to restart or shutdown. The desktop goes black. The mouse pointer is still visible and can be moved but then nothing. Just stops.
I am not sure if this is kernel related but as far as I remember the update at the time updated the kernel.
To be sure I hadn’t done any stupid and because the system was getting a bit unstable of all the resets I reinstalled. However, with the latest download KDE version it is the same. When I drive it from the USB pen it shuts down fine. When I install on SSD the same as before.
My system is a
Gigabyte Aorus Master X670E
Ryzen 7 7800x3d
32 Gigs of ram
A couple of SSDs NVMEs
System works flawlessly in Windows and PopOS.
I have not yet tried updating with an experimental and new kernel. First I wanted to hear if anyone else have a similar issue. A search gave nothing.
Any suggestions?
