Do you get any messages in your journal around the time you attempt shutdown or reboot?

Not an installation issue, moving to "Kernel and Hardware".

Re: [SOLVED] Freeze shutdown and poweroff with gnome!

Sorry for wrong thread.

This problem is only one when i try to reboot or shutdown with graphical shell (gnome); the message that i see is: "kvm disable by bios" but this message is not for poweroff but is the first message that i see when i start my pc!

EDIT:
I think the problem is logout user cause if i try to reboot but first of i logout i can reboot without problem! And if i try gnome with waylan reboot work perfectally! so the problem is X or logout!

EDIT2:
SOLVED with remove GDM and install lightdm!
