Shutdown takes upwards of 2min

Hi, I'm new to linux and have been using fedora KDE for a few weeks. I decided to move over to an arch based distro and decided to go with garuda linux. I've been enjoying it quite a lot, but I've encountered a weird issue. My shutdown times take upwards of 2 min. This only happens when I shutdown from within the session. If I first logout and then shutdown, it takes no longer than 20s.

This issue seems to be similar to the bug described in this KDE bug report: 445449 – Shutting down from Plasma Wayland causes shutdown to be delayed while stopping SDDM.

I'm not that well versed with linux so I havent tried much, since I'm affraid of breaking something. I tried changing my shutdown options, resting KDE and disabling my CPU OC, but nothing seems to help.

WELCOME to the Garuda Forums! :smiley:

What you could do is boot up, do what you need to do to reproduce the issue, shutdown or reboot and than upon the next boot up, login and issue this in Terminal (Konsole):

journalctl -b -1 -r

This will display all msgs logged from last boot (not the one you are booted into), sorting recursively through time (LIFO style).

Hi, thanks for the fast reply, but when I do that command I get upwards of 3k lines. I cant really post it here. Is there a way to filter the output?

Yes. you post it within the following:

~ ~ ~
HERE
~ ~ ~

3 tildes on first line (no spaces), 3 tildes on last line (no spaces).
On my installation it automatically shows a certain number of lines and I can manually scroll, not sure why it doesn't on yours. :frowning:

It is a KDE wayland bug. Switch to X until they fix it (don't hold your breath) or just deal with the log out first then reboot scenario. You can also use reboot but when it logs out to the blinking cursor hit CTRL+ALT+F1 and it will reboot normally.
EDIT
You can also enable the magic REISUB key:

[Tip] Enable Magic SysRq Key (REISUB) - General system / Kernel & Hardware - EndeavourOS

and use that for rebooting.

Here are the first 90 lines, after which I have to start manually scrolling.

Tnx @AshenOne
Basically when troubleshooting these things you need to look for a gap in the timestamp, cuz something is holding on the shutdown. Those 90 lines occurred most probably after what's holding on the shutdown as they are all within 1sec, but like elloquin said it seems to be a Wayland bug for which you'd have to wait until it gets fixed, so not much we could do about it...

I'll think Ill stick with just logging out. I sadly cant use X11 since I require VRR support while using two screens. That said, how dows Garuda sway compare to KDE? It should also support VRR while using two screens.

Well it was worth a try, that said thanks a lot for the help. Maybe I'll try sway since it also supports VRR with two screens.

Could you please try to do a CTRL+ALT+F1 after you shutdown and it seems to be hanging?
It happened to me in a different laptop where I was trying KDE + wayland.
Searching on the internet I found that workaround, and I remember it worked (shutting down safely, of course).
Unfurtunately it was only some kind of quick testing, so I don't remember much, nor took notes.

Edit: I see only now it was basically mentioned also by @elloquin. In my case, it worked also for shutdown, not only reboot.

It is not only a wayland bug, this happened to me under X, so much so, I took to the internets and found a solution.

Find the solution here. Scroll down to the section on installing and activating Watchdog. I had to get Watchdog from AUR, but after installing, no more 2 min waits.

That is a totally different issue. Similar but totally different. I have no such issues on x and do not need this fix to reboot. Watchdog errors are usually very specific to certain hardware.

Maybe not for YOU, but maybe it might help the OP. As you said, different systems.

Power off with Garuda Sway takes literally two seconds, sometimes one or less. It still takes me by surprise sometimes! :joy:

  • amdgpu kernel driver may be haunting around as well… hear me out :sunglasses:

@AshenOne Please run journalctl again… :arrow_up:

  • again… run journalctl - grep amdgpu - and pipe to less…
journalctl -b -1 -r | grep -A3 amdgpu | less

This should be interesting to scroll through for you. -)

Find the lines containing amdgpu :arrow_down:
Note ten or so lines before and after amdgpu failed to send message for hints…
Look closer in the journalctl output and search for lines like such:

Take note of this 1 minute 27 second GAP IN TIME STAMP here.

  • During this time gap no other processes except amdgpu are logged in journactl. Nothing. Nada.

For me, this is an/the issue comes with using certain AMD Radeon GPU Chips that run the kernels opensource amdgpu driver/module. the kernel driver amdgpu is causing/reporting this (01:27) one minute 27 second DELAY in this particular boot log instance.

This log is my machine here. Using amdgpu kernel opensource amd driver
that you are using also.

amdgpu :point_up_2: reporting “failed to send message” errors

I noticed you have AMD Radeon as well.

I wish you luck. If you find the amdgpu driver is causing delays you can generally
just live with the delays. I ended up a few years back, on this same issue, doing
hours and days of research.

At this point I follow the LKML and watch development on the amdgpu driver.
Frankly, if they fix the driver amdgpu, a new kernel will come that will include
the driver fix and like magic, this delay issue will disappear. :sunglasses:

Note: This may not be the same issue as I can not see your full/relevant journalctl
output. Certainly worth the while to check. Could be multiple causes adding up
to larger total delays.

I think when all is said and done here, I am saying to you I lose minutes in various
degrees all from the amdgpu/Radeon combo-smack. It never does any harm
and will always… eventually… [ Reboot | Shutdown | Logout ] properly.

For instance… On average If I am currently logged in to kde it takes me 8-Full-Minutes
to shutdown-from-kde-menu / powerup / login-to-kde :point_down:

Shutdown from KDE menu or terminal : 3-4 minutes - Full Halt
Powerup: 3-4 minutes to DM / KDE Login screen

This happens for me on [ any linux distro - wayland or xorg - every de/wm ]
Why?
Because the common denominator is… tada! —>>> the kernel amdgpu
driver radeon-combo glitch.
That’s why.

I wish you all the luck and thought I would chip this in the pot.
You can add this to your troubleshooting arsenal.
Always be suspicious of the radeon+amdgpu combo when it
comes to delays in [ shutdown|reboot|logout|login|powerup ].
:grinning:

  • Pro Troubleshooting Tips

Rule out KDE…

Install another DE or window manager.

  • Note: Some folks avoid installing a different/second de/wm due to possible conflicts.

If you have the same issue on a different de/wm then you can’t blame KDE. check.

Ruling out can be very very useful in these cases.

Or… Use a bootable LIVE iso (not KDE) and test for the same issue there. check.

  • You can use any Garuda Linux Official Installation ISO for testing

Ruling OUT kde, and things like wayland or xorg, can save you valuable time trying
to nail things like this down, IMHO.

Good luck

I've had this issue too where it's just a black screen for a while. I also found that Alt F1 shuts it down. What does this command even do though? Forces a shutdown?

Alt-F1 brings up kde menu in well… kde. :sunglasses: Probably a keybinding specific to your DE/WM.
