Since a few days ago, Bazzite has stopped shutting down properly when I shut down from Gaming Mode. It was working fine last week.
When I press Shut down, the Steam session closes and I reach the screen with the bazzite logo and the spinner graphic on a black screen. But even after waiting for 1 hour, the computer never powers off. The screen will just crash.
I’m using the Home Theatre PC version of Bazzite, with KDE desktop.
If I shut down from the KDE desktop, the computer powers off fine. This only occurs when I select “Shut down” from within Gaming Mode.
What can I do to troubleshoot or resolve this? Could this be due to a recent Bazzite update? I’m running the kernel version 6.15.4-106.bazzite.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit)
Here is the output of sudo journalctl -b -1 -e

The computer still had power at 23:00, 1 hour and 40 minutes after the last entry in that log.
