Laptop doesnt shutdown

i dont know what Nouveau is

to be frank i dont know, as it takes long enough for me to force shutdown using the power button

Update:
This error is only happening when i use cli with below command

shutdown noe

If I use the GUI option it shutdowns directly withing 10 seconds

You mean

shutdown now

:grinning:

Use poweroff (short for systemctl poweroff) and see if you still have this issue.

shutdown now is handled a little differently and may not be what you want.

Thank you, will surely try and update. Also will read on both.

It's the open source and often lower performance driver, maybe no big deal if you don't do any gaming:

how do i disable it, only this is giving error and now on every type of shutdown possible

Not 100% sure if this will solve your issue since a lot of threads have had hit and miss results using this, but in the Garuda settings manager > hardware config, there is this option:

If it doesn't work or causes strange results, take a look around these forums and on Google (or SearX, Whoogle - whatever floats your boat :slight_smile: ) - there's a lot out there when it comes to NVIDIA drivers.
