I’ve reinstalled EndeavourOS on my mini-pc (Asus-50) 3 days ago. KDE was working beautifully. I decided to put ‘GNOME’ on this time. This is when my problem started.
It’s been 3 days with the same problem. The system will not shut down. I will even wait the 60 seconds when the computer is displaying the final shutdown screen says it’s going down and nothing happens. ( I hold the pwr button in till the systems shuts down that works. . . ) .
I updated everything today (288 packages) with latest kernel this morning and the problem still exists. I’ve used both mouse and keyboard as facilitators and still no shut-down.
Where do I start? Any help would be appreciated. Curiosity kills the cat that’s where I’m at. . .
Updated 2 more times this morning. . . . mesa was in the first group . . . .gtk4 in the second. This was done on my destop (KDE) system. still working beautifully. . . . I will go back to the mini-pc and update it again. . . . shot in the dark. . . see if the problem still exists with shut-down.
Updated the files. . . . couldn’t re-start ‘Gnome’ after these updates. So the problem is definitely in the start-up/ shut-down/ re-start menu selections. I did another hard shut-down using the power switch. . . everything booted up fine and runs but still the same shut-down problem.
Rich;) (I’m corresponding all of this to you using the the problematic computer. . . )
I’m looking at logs in ‘Gnome’ it has error messages broken down by category. . . ‘Important’, ‘all’, ‘applications’, ‘system’, ‘security’, ‘hardware’. Each area has messages indicating what’s not functioning or working I believe. Question is where does shut-down fall in the categories? I glanced at them all and it wasn’t easy to see what ‘effects’ what. . . . .just a passing thought . . . .
Rich time for another ‘hard’ shutdown. . . . will reisub work in this case a little better?
Installed ‘LTS’ kernel and unchecked the topmost kernel using AKM which deleted and uninstalled it. Now LTS is install and I will reboot and see what the story is. As of right now ‘POWER OFF’ still does not function.
Looks like 6.6.67-1.1 works (lts) and 6.12.6 doesn’t. . . . This was the problem other posters had and were told to use the LTS kernel. I don’t know if this an option in an on-line installation using calamares or not. . … during installation from scratch . . . (probably is). . . not paying attention. So far it shuts down and re-starts using keyboard, mouse or tab keys. It’s working now. . . Thanks for the attention.
