Impossible to logout on plasma 6

Hi all, I've recently installed Arch on a new device, and there's something that on my older device worked, and now here it does not.

PROBLEM:
I cannot leave a Plasma 6 Wayland session.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Open the SDDM menu, and click on "logout". Click again to confirm the logout.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
Applications close, then the user is logged out, and the SDDM greeter appears.

ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:
Application close, the user is not logged out. If I try to "restart" or "shutdown" from the SDDM menu, they do not work. I need to reboot or shutdown from CLI.

I've looked around and it seems this is sometimes something that happens in Plasma 6. I've also tried the solution proposed here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481938, but it is not working.

Re: Impossible to logout on plasma 6

I just encountered the same problem with Plasma 6 & Wayland.
It works with Gnome & Wayland.

Maybe it's relevant, I use an NVIDIA GPU.

Re: Impossible to logout on plasma 6

Most likely something crashes on exit and restarts into the logout?
In doubt please post your complete system journal for the boot after a failed logout

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st
