[SOLVED] Arch takes some time to shutdown/reboot.

As of some time, whenever I tried to shutdown or reboot Arch, it took around 5-8 seconds, whereas normally as soon as I invoked the shutdown or reboot command, the screen would instantly go dark and complete the shutdown process.
I update my system regularly, maybe it was a bad update?

Output of journalctl -b -1: https://0x0.st/Xkoo.txt

Thanks in advance, I'm confused on why this is happening.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch takes some time to shutdown/reboot.

Some kitty process is trying to start up despite the session going down, some network chatter and a bunch of rtkit invocations which are potentially wireplumber/firefox related.

The fishiest here is the kitty process that tries to start up while the session is going down, have you installed any new services between slower and faster boot?

I investigated a little further and after removing some packages the problem was behind libvirtd, it is now working correctly.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch takes some time to shutdown/reboot.

I am experiencing the same delay of 5 seconds when rebooting my system, this happens when the libvirtd service is enabled. However, when I disable or stop the service, my system reboots normally. I have checked the journalctl logs, but I cannot find any relevant error messages related to libvirtd, except for my VM definitions. When I re-enable the libvirtd service, the issue persists. I would like to know what you did exactly to fix it ?
