[SOLVED] reboot from within X problem (3.19.3-1 kernel)

Has anyone else had their "reboot" command fail after yesterday's kernel update?
After bootup with the current kernel, I discovered that my computer just hangs whenever I invoke "reboot" via:
   - menubar
   - launcher menu
   - awful widet prompt

Strangely, when I try to just use the terminal to perform this command (either within a terminal emulator inside window manager or at the virtual console), it works just fine.

If my terminologies used doesn't make it obvious yet, my window manager is awesome. I also have lxqt and from there, it also freezed when I clicked on the reboot from the launcher menu. I don't use any display manager.

The kernel now on my system is: 3.19.3-1

I'm guessing hard, but I think this is rather an awesome specific problem than an X or even kernel problem.

Could you log and post the output of awesome, specifically the part where it fails to run the reboot from said interface elements?

Re: [SOLVED] reboot from within X problem (3.19.3-1 kernel)

There have been several mentions of this on the forum - there is a known bug in 3.19.3 causing a kernel panic on shutdown/reboot for several of us.  It is (allegedly) fixed in 3.19.4.

See the following thread and the links included in it:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195778

I've downgraded to 3.19.2 until 3.19.4 is ready.

EDIT: I just confirmed 3.19.3-3 is working for me.

should be fixed in 3.19.3-2+, actually, already in testing.

Oops, I didn't see that, I'm sorry.

And has now been quickly pushed to core.

Well, crap. I'm also having a graphics-related issue with 3.19.3, but I have an nVidia card and it's still borked in -3.

Edit: Nope, looks like that was just my video card's way of informing me of its plans for early retirement...

I can now conform that it is indeed solved after updating my system with 3.19.3-3
