[SOLVED] Laptop doesn't always shutdown properly from terminal

kargi · 2024-05-11 04:25:00

Hey,

When executing a power off command, such as systemctl poweroff or systemctl shutdown, my computer seemingly powers off, but certain leds as well as the fans still run. It seems to react to ACPI events too. My laptop's keyboard and leds were lighting up when closing and opening the lid. Last time I was forced to do a hard shutdown, I was prompted to manually run fsck on boot. Only way to properly shut it down is to hold down the power button.

I list a few journalctl boot loggings below:

From the boot right before the problems began:

I had to boot the computer again, because the leds and fans wouldn't shutdown before doing a hard poweroff:
https://0x0.st/XKr_.txt

My computer booted very briefly in this period:
https://0x0.st/XKrp.txt

And this is the boot which prompted me to run fsck:
https://0x0.st/XKrD.txt

Thanks!

I noticed while looking through all my previously saved booted entries, it notes that /dev/nvme0n1p1 (my boot drive) always unmounted uncleanly. Could that be related to the shutdown issues?

Edit: the corrupted filesystem is because of the power button .

Thank you!

Should I just downgrade my kernel to the files linked at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2168790, or should I generate a patch from https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/2024050 … d.com/T/#u for 9.8.9.arch1-1.1 first? I tried following https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Patching_packages, but I didn't get anywhere with it. Not really sure what I'm doing, and I'm afraid of screwing my current kernel up.

You can either actually downgrade (from the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Ala ) or try the kernel loqs already compiled (which isn't a downgrade, jus 6.8.9 + a hopefully fixing patch)

You could also install the LTS kernel next to the main one, so if you screw up replacing the main kernel you can still boot the LTS kernel.
Or you can fix the system from the install iso (or technically any live distro) IFFF you screw up replacing the kernel.

Thanks for your patience!

I installed the headers and kernel loqs compiled, as that seemed to be the most straightforward solution. Hopefully that will fix the issue, but I won't know initially. The shutdown predicament usually only is an issue for longer sessions. Just to be sure, I will leave the topic open for now, and will mark it as solved some time tomorrow if the issue seems to have been fixed.

According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=295171 and the suggested cause/patch, this will hinge on an S3/4 cycle (ie. thr problem only manifests after you sent the system to sleep at least once)

Using loq's compiled kernel seems to have fixed my problem, so I will mark the topic as solved. Interestingly, even though the patch refers to a S4 cycle, it seems to have solved the issue for S0ix, which is what my laptop uses.
