screen frozen on shutdown, reboot...

HHello, I have an arch installation with kde, when I shut down or restart I get the message the system will reboot now, I think it was like that and it stays on that screen and there I have to force a hardware shutdown. I have also had problems at times when suspending.

I think it was a kernel bug with my processor architecture but I don't know exactly if that's it, my processor is an i8700k.

Let's see if you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Re: screen frozen on shutdown, reboot...

Despues de mirar journalctl encontre esto:

ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd[1]: Using hardware watchdog 'iTCO_wdt', version 0, device /dev/watchdog0
ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd[1]: Watchdog running with a timeout of 10min.
ene 09 22:32:09 pacman kernel: watchdog: watchdog0: watchdog did not stop!

ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd-shutdown[1]: Watchdog running with a timeout of 10min.

ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd-shutdown[1]: Sending SIGTERM to remaining processes...
ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd-journald[323]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd-shutdow).
ene 09 22:32:09 pacman systemd-journald[323]: Journal stopped

Does anyone know how to disable it so it doesn't take so long? I've seen in several threads that they disable it but it still works.

Re: screen frozen on shutdown, reboot...

You're using SDDM as well?
Try to log out first and shutdown from SDDM and if that works https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sddm-git

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=280561
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=276631

Edit, on your edit: disable what?
Whatever you think that journal tail says, it doesn't say that.
Please don't post random excerpts and also use code tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Re: screen frozen on shutdown, reboot...

If I am using kde to shutdown the system using SDDM it shuts down instantly and that seems to be the problem of my slow shutdown.

Re: screen frozen on shutdown, reboot...

There's probably some language barrier, but I'll go on a limb and say that sddm-git (or some upcoming SDDM release, but that might take a while) will likely fix your problem.

I may have explained it wrong.

I don't know if it's a problem with SDDM or KDE.

Shutting down from KDE takes almost 2 minutes.

Quitting KDE and shutting down from SDDM shuts down instantly.

Yeah, that fits the known pattern.
