Issues with PC shutting down

Bazzite

Hi

Since yesterday, I’ve been having issues shutting down my PC. When I attempt to shut down from the application launcher, the taskbar disappears, my windows remain open, and my desktop background disappears, but I can still alt-tab between windows?

However, my PC will restart and go into sleep mode just fine.

I really don’t know what’s wrong; the only thing I can think of is that I made some updates in the Discover software center. I then updated my system and rebooted but the issue persists.

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks guys

Hello,

you are not alone, I got the same issue.
Rebooting with $ shutdown -r 0 works fine, only the app launcher reboot / shutdown doesn’t work.

Linux 6.8.12-301.fsync.fc40.x86_64
X570 AORUS ELITE (-CF)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X (16) @ 3,80 GHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti [Discr]
KDE Plasma 6.0.5
KWin (X11)
bash 5.2.26

Was just about to ask about this myself since I’ve had the problem for a few days now. I now have Ctrl+Shift+F3 to a terminal to reboot or shutdown when I tried to do it the “normal” way and end up with black screen.

I have auto-login set and use X11 since some of the tools I use do not work well under Wayland yet.

Some info if it helps the people who knows more. I’m pretty new to Linux.

Just occurred to me to test this. It seems to be X11 issue. The logout and restart via UI works when using Wayland.

So I guess we wait for nVidia driver update. I use Godot for development and it looks like the next version (4.3) will have Wayland support, then I can switch back to it. For now the terminal will have to do to reboot/shutdown.

Same here, seems we’re all using X11 and Nvidia GPU’s…

Really wish Wayland worked better…

I think you’re right, I’ve really enjoyed my bazzite experience but the fact I have an nvidia card has caused a lot of problems.

Good thing I’m ready for an upgrade lmao

Hello,

The issue seems to be related to X11, so I downgraded "plasma-workspace-x11.x86_64" to 6.0.3-1.fc40.
And I have no issue at all now, beside the update notification for plasma updates
:slight_smile:

More info about the bug :

Edit :
Actually I just need to downgrade to 6.0.5

Thank you for your response

How would I go about doing that? Is that rebasing?

To clarify, the steps you took were

1: Download plasma-workspace-x11-6.0.5-1.fc40
from: plasma-workspace-x11-6.0.5-1.fc40 | Build Info | koji

2: Then enter “sudo dnf downgrade plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-x11”

Got the same issue, i have to shut it down the hard way now, I’ve also had use x11 since everyone in here with an Nvidia Card has the issue it’s probably related.

Wish the 560 driver was out so i could switch back to wayland :sweat_smile:

Wayland working pretty well for me with 555 driver now. Issues I had before with electron based apps, like Discord, for example is resolved.

There is a problem now and then like once the taskbar stopped responding and spectacle won’t launch now and then. Some windows (I think GTK related ones) are black after I run an update but then there is normally an update to be done in Discover too which looks related to the GTK packages and the apps are fine after that. Firefox also had some issue after the switch. Forgot what it was since I simply switched to Floorp which I find to be much nicer anyway.

But overall I can manage so far and trust it will get better with each new update of the drivers, wayland, and the desktop.

Have not wanted to go back to Windows since I switched about a month and some ago. Actually quite dislike the idea of ever going back since I can configure my desktop the way I want it under Linux :smiley:
