System does not shutdown anymore

[GoGRaDaN]

Since some update last week, I have trouble to shutdown the system via the quick settings menu in Gnome. However, after click shutdown or reboot, does nothing. There is no error message or failure, there is only no response.

On the other hand, when i open a terminal and use “shutdown” or “reboot” from inside the terminal, this works as expected and the system shuts down as usual.

Has something changed in the shutdown process?

Do you happen to have the Caffeine GNOME Shell Extension installed? If so, make sure to toggle it off before attempting to restart /shut down.

Your logs may yield information about what’s happening:

[HowTo] Find error logs

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ The first step for troubleshooting an issue is to find an error log: a trace produced by an application when failing/crashing, and providing the first trail a user/developer can follow to fix it. 1. Reach a usable system Obviously, it will be impossible to acquire those logs if you can’t have access to a usable system. See: [HowTo] Reach a minimal system 2. Find the faulty application If you don’t know which application failed – this is usually the case on a system or gra…

As a workaround, try logging off then then restart / shut down from there.

Nope. I have no Extensions besides Dash to panel.

I have found the solution. For some reason, the UUID of my swap was changed. As a result swap was not active properly. Found this by checking the errors since boot with journalctl. After re-adding the swap with proper uuid, it works now as before.

There seems to be more to this, because today the same issue occurs again. The Swap is correctly active this time. I have now made a test and opened a terminal before clicking on shutdown in the menu and use journalctl --follow to see whats maybe going on. When i click on shutdown, i get the following in the terminal:

Has someone a idea what can cause this or where i should have a look?

Really strange, after waiting 10 minutes and doing some other stuff, i clicked again on shutdown in the quick menu. The error message comes up again, but this time followed by a message, that the system will now shutdown now. Shortly after that, the computer shuts really down. So i assume the above error message has nothing todo with the shutdown error. Im totally clueless.
