[Solved] Unable to shut down / reboot

Hi everyone,

Since about a month ago, i cannot shutdown or reboot my Arch installation (I usually sleep the PC, rearly reboot it or shutting it down),
it hands indefinitely on the shutdown text screen stating something like:

... systemd shutdown[1]: Waiting for processes: gvfs-udisks2-vo, pulse audio, dbus-daemon, pcmanfm, (sd-pam), gvfsd-trash, systemd

Repeating CTRL+ALT+DEL 7-10 times doesn't do anything either on short term, but after a while (10+ minutes) it restarts, without this nothing,
I can leave it for half an hour and still stands here.

PS: system is up to date (the last 3 updates I made, didn't change anything).

What whould be the next step in diagnosing this or where to look next for the problem?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, changing it (~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart) from

@pcmanfm --desktop --profile LXDE

to

@pcmanfm --desktop

solved the problem.
