Shutdown stalls after system update

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware
10

I searched for this issue a lot and finally got my laptop working by downgrading the packages :

  • linux
  • linux-headers

To downgrade you can use the downgrade utility

Use the following command:

sudo downgrade linux linux-headers

Note: You may not be able run sudo command. It was happening with me.
Hence simply force shutdown your device. Then after restarting, do these steps quickly then restart again

PS:

At first i thought it was a systemd issue. So i tried downgrading it but everything was still the same

Then i thought it was maybe the stable kernel update issue so i tried to boot into the latest lts kernel but the issue persists there as well

Then i read this recent issue (https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms/-/issues/1) which states that it has something to do with Network Adapter. Hence downgrading to 6.6.4 will work

My Wifi Card is MT7921

If you resolve this issue, then please confirm whether you have the wifi card of the similar series (Ex: MT7922)
