LXDM hangs on shutdown

Upgraded the entire system today, and lxdm appears to hang at shutdown. Some logs:

$ sudo journalctl -u lxdm -b -1
Aug 31 03:15:08 arch lxdm-session[447]: pam_unix(lxdm:session): session opened for user linux by (uid=0)
Aug 31 03:16:06 arch systemd[1]: Stopping LXDE Display Manager...
Aug 31 03:17:36 arch systemd[1]: lxdm.service stop-sigterm timed out. Killing.
Aug 31 03:17:36 arch systemd[1]: lxdm.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
Aug 31 03:17:36 arch systemd[1]: Stopped LXDE Display Manager.
Aug 31 03:17:36 arch systemd[1]: Unit lxdm.service entered failed state.

Version of lxdm is 0.5.0-1. Anyone else having this issue or does everything work and it's my configuration?

Re: LXDM hangs on shutdown

systemclt status lxdm.service -l

Or is it the same as in journalctl? How long since the last update/upgrade?

Re: LXDM hangs on shutdown

Status is fine, it just hangs on shutdown. A couple of months I think, don't quite remember. I cleared the pacman caches too since I thought everything was working ok at startup, so not sure what the previous version was.

$ sudo systemctl status lxdm.service -l 
● lxdm.service - LXDE Display Manager
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/lxdm.service; enabled)
   Active: active (running) since XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 Main PID: 292 (lxdm-binary)
   CGroup: /system.slice/lxdm.service
           ├─292 /usr/sbin/lxdm-binary
           └─307 /usr/bin/Xorg.bin -background none :0 vt01 -nolisten tcp -novtswitch

Re: LXDM hangs on shutdown

I would either stop the service from another vt manually and read its status -l then, or start and stop lxdm manually outside of systemd and log its output. Are you aware of recent xorg changes?

Re: LXDM hangs on shutdown

I'm getting status_success when I do that. Are you talking about changes here? https://www.archlinux.org/news/xorg-ser … available/ I'm not sure how that would affect lxdm.
