[Solved] Cinnamon keyboard shortcut for log out does not work

I am running encrypted Arch UEFI with Cinnamon on an HP Pavilion 14 Notebook. Everything is working fine except for the logout keyboard shortcut. Whether I use the default shortcut, Ctrl-Alt-Del, or set some other keybinding for logging out, nothing happens. I've even tried setting a custom shortcut for it with the command "cinnamon-session-quit --logout", but without success.

When I run the same command in the terminal, I get the following error:

(cinnamon-session-quit:24813): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 00:26:38.944: g_dbus_proxy_call_sync_internal: assertion 'parameters == NULL || g_variant_is_of_type (parameters, G_VARIANT_TYPE_TUPLE)' failed

** (cinnamon-session-quit:24813): WARNING **: 00:26:38.944: Failed to call logout

(cinnamon-session-quit:24813): GLib-CRITICAL **: 00:26:38.944: g_variant_unref: assertion 'value != NULL' failed 

Is there a way to solve this issue so that I can bring up the logout dialog with the corresponding keyboard shortcut and also without needing to set a custom shortcut for it?

Please use code tags for terminal output.

Re: [Solved] Cinnamon keyboard shortcut for log out does not work

It turned out that the issue was related to cinnamon-session. The shortcut started working again after an upstream bugfix release was made available with cinnamon-session 4.2.1.

For reference: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63068
