Ok I was able to fix this by doing the following:
sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
change:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems fsck"
to:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block keyboard keymap filesystems fsck shutdown"
sudo mkinitcpio -P
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
sudo systemctl restart systemd-coredump.socket
sudo systemctl reset-failed
Now I can shutdown without the need to wait 2-3 mins.
Interesting. Thanks, and well done!
most probably related to systemd, going to disappear with 248, at least in my machine…
Is there a way to update systemd manually without needing to wait for a repo update? I cant find anything online.
I would highly recommend not attempting to do this. if you need early access to specific parts it is better to switch to a more upstream version of system as a whole. Read about switching branches here.
It is possible to install specific newer versions, but since you cannot find how to online you probably won’t be able to successfully integrate a updated complex component like systemd successfully yourself.
I also have the same issue after each major Manjaro update.
It tries to mount and unmount them in circles.
