System logs out instead of shutting down/restarting

I’m using Cinnamon on EndeavourOS, everything is up to date.

Since some time ago (1-3 weeks, can’t remember exactly) I cannot shut down/restart using the menu, as it logs out instead.

I can shutdown using cli no problem, but I’m used to use the menu so I would like to fix it.

There is definetely some good clues in the syslog, but I cannot decifer it. Tried to duck it, but couldn’t find anything that helped me fix the issue.

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you :slight_smile:

Here’s the relevant part of journalctl -b 0

It’s a known issue. There is a pull request open to fix it.

Thanks a lot! I’ll be a bit patient then and this will hopefully get merged :slight_smile:
