computer doesn't shutdown

Hi,

I encounter a strange long waiting time until my computer completely shuts down, even sometimes it won't shutdown so I have to it manually.
I suspect it's related to the fact that one partition of my partitions is almost completely filled.
This is how my partitions look:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
dev             7.7G     0  7.7G   0% /dev
run             7.7G  1.7M  7.7G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p2   30G   20G  8.7G  70% /
tmpfs           7.7G  233M  7.5G   3% /dev/shm
tmpfs           7.7G     0  7.7G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           7.7G   67M  7.7G   1% /tmp
/dev/nvme0n1p3  908G  6.3G  856G   1% /home
tmpfs           1.6G   44K  1.6G   1% /run/user/1000

Does it looks fine? because partition nvme0n1p2 is oddly stacked. And I am not really sure what is filling it up.
This is journalctl log:

Thanks.

Re: computer doesn't shutdown

I don't see a partition that is almost full. 70% use and 8.7G available is fine.

If you open a terminal and type

halt

or

reboot

does it execute immediately?

Re: computer doesn't shutdown

Your posted journal doesn't contain a shutdown, only a startup, so there's nothing you or I can see in there on what's actually happening during shutdown. Use 'journalctl -b -1' to get the previous cycle (startup and shutdown).

Take 'quiet' off your boot line and watch the screen upon shutdown. It will likely tell you which service it's waiting on to shut down.

If you open a terminal and type

Yes, It does execute but gets stuck half way. This is the output:

And this is the output of journalctl -b -1 :

Not sure what exactly causes the system to not shutdown\reboot.
Thanks.

Re: computer doesn't shutdown

Can you try this, type:
systemctl stop tlp
And then: reboot
