Re: Shutdown/Reboot infinite hanging

Hi. I am using XFCE and do not want change LightDM for SDDM or anything else. I also have problem with poweroff or reboot however it happens only from time to time. Should I try to install xf86-video-amdgpu when using LightDM?

I also have a problem with hanging from time to time with XFCE and LightDM on shutdown and restart.

Re: Shutdown/Reboot infinite hanging

try :
systemctl --failed ? or journalctl -b | grep sddm?
grep sddm  to check if it is the problem.....

I get this or a similar issue now under gnome3 when I go to shutdown/reboot or logout and change users. It will hang for approximately 15-30 seconds before the dialog box comes up when using the gnome3 gui panel shutdown/logout buttons. There is no issue when attempting to shutdown or logout by command line.

Re: Shutdown/Reboot infinite hanging

There has been some issue in XFCE last month after updating the system.
Only way I could Shutdown/Reboot was to logout XFCE and give the
shutdown/reboot command.

I fixed this problem, changing the polkit file, here is how i did it.

In file "/usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.login1.policy"

for action id

• org.freedesktop.login1.power-off

• org.freedesktop.login1.reboot

• org.freedesktop.login1.suspend

• org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate

its in xml, which looks some what like this

        <action id="org.freedesktop.login1.suspend">
                <description>Suspend the system</description>
                <description xml:lang="be">Прыпыніць сістэму</description>
                <description xml:lang="be@latin">Prypynić sistemu</description>
                <description xml:lang="da">Sæt systemet på standby</description>
                ....
                ....
                <message xml:lang="zh_CN">挂起系统需要验证。</message>
                <message xml:lang="zh_TW">暫停系統需要驗證。</message>
                <defaults>
                        <allow_any>yes</allow_any>
                        <allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>
                        <allow_active>yes</allow_active>
                </defaults>
        </action>

for each section

<allow_any>auth_admin_keep</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>auth_admin_keep</allow_inactive>

change it to

<allow_any>yes</allow_any>
<allow_inactive>yes</allow_inactive>

see man polkit to know know about other options.

Re: Shutdown/Reboot infinite hanging

The best way to keep your Arch system working is to use Linux LTS kernel. Update your system when you get a new LTS kernel. All the best.

If OP's question is resolved then kindly mark the thread solved.
