Slow shutdown problems in kde plasma with sddm #1476

ghost · 2021-11-23T16:20:01Z

Whenever I try to shutdown my pc I get a message like -
"Starting version 249.5-3-arch
/dev/sda3: clean, 458192/30228480 files, 32189479/120907009 blocks "
and it basically takes my pc 2 minutes to shutdown.
People already made a lot of bug request regarding this -
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445449
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2002140#p2002140
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445385

Any clue ?

There's measures in #1460 that should mitigate this issue.

Also in Plasma Workspace we added f377696bff39e35ae0f7ae6104d8732b3856744e exactly for that.

Could you try enabling systemd boot for Plasma and see if it addresses the problem for you?

Can u tell me how to enable systemd boot? I am a noob when it comes to linux. 😅

I wouldn't want to be responsible for your system, let me comment in the bug reports you mentioned.

Today I faced the slow shutdown problem again and this is my shutdown log (journalctl) can u see what went wrong ?
Here is the log -

FTR, I can reproduce this issue with x11 greeter but not wayland greeter. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=445449#c23

With X11 greeter, Xorg terminates and SDDM decides to restart it, at which point the shutdown hangs.

Pyrrhusn · 2022-01-24T01:59:14Z

Just started having the same issue today, because I switched to Wayland. Screen turns black and backlight doesn't when initiating shutdown/reboot, only after a couple of minutes it completely does. Doesn't happen on X11 session, shutdown/reboot is quick.

p4vook · 2022-02-10T08:38:52Z

Having the same issue on Gentoo https://bugs.gentoo.org/833059

k1gen · 2022-03-13T20:30:01Z

Started having exact same issue yesterday on Arch with KDE Plasma on Wayland

RokeJulianLockhart · 2022-03-13T22:44:49Z

This appears to have been remediated for Fedora Rawhide.

ghost · 2022-03-14T23:02:48Z

Having the same issue on Debian Sid.

This fixed the issue for me, thanks.

RokeJulianLockhart · 2022-03-23T16:21:06Z

"Arch Linux" should probably be redacted from the title, because this affects Fedora.

doesn't work on Wayland session. Problem is on Kwin + Wayland.

Logical-sh · 2022-03-25T22:12:55Z

I can also confirm, using kwin and wayland, I tried with and without the configuration change and either way it times out, but logging out first makes reboot within like a second.

tyrumus · 2022-03-28T21:07:58Z

Having the same problem with my Wayland sessions with Sway. SDDM fails to properly stop when I trigger a shutdown while a Wayland session is running, but if I log out and return to SDDM's login screen, then shutdown/reboot works without error.

I enabled systemd debugging as described here and saw this in the log when I triggered a reboot (systemctl reboot) from inside of a Sway session:

[  606.871766] audit: type=1131 audit(1646776510.270:153): pid=1 uid=0 auid=4294967295 ses=4294967295 msg='unit=sddm comm="systemd" exe="/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" hostname=? addr=? terminal=? res=failed'

Just trying to say this issue is not specific to KDE.

bimmlerd · 2022-04-06T10:05:06Z

Also affected by this. Have noticed that switching ttys while sddm is blocking the shutdown process is a workaround. Specifically, I hit Ctrl+Alt+F3 and then Ctrl+Alt+F2, which causes the sddm job to stop successfully.

KeanuGh · 2022-04-07T10:55:40Z

I have noticed another workaround is to log out of your kde session before shutting down. There is never a hang when logging out first.

cyb3rd4d · 2022-04-15T19:30:43Z

I tried to install SDDM from the develop branch and I don't reproduce the bug anymore since then.
If you use Archlinux or a derived distro, you can intall the package sddm-git from the AUR.

ghost · 2022-05-17T09:43:18Z

Ok so it is not due to sddm I tried plasma with different login manager like light dm and everytime plasma hangs when shutting down. So I think it is a problem with kwin. I made a new bug report in bugs.kde.org - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453928

GithubUser5462 · 2022-05-17T10:16:02Z

Well, a kwin developer posted a pull request to fix the issue here #1515 so i think that they already know what is going on.

Hopefully they can find some time to update it and fix the issue.

That pull request is open since february. I mean no response. I already asked people in arch forums and they think that there is something wrong with kwin -

Bruh.

Look at my logs I am using lightdm but still I am facing the same issue - http://0x0.st/oaiV.txt

I think I will use xinitrc (startx script) .

Are you guys having the same problem ?

Kangie · 2022-06-11T09:36:47Z

OK, to clarify this once and for all:

In SDDM 0.18.1 (and presumably 0.19.0) there is a shutdown delay (of 30s or whatever your systemd is set to wait to send a SIGKILL). I can replicate this on Gentoo repeatedly with package version 0.18.1 on my system.

If I build the code from 'develop' there is no shutdown delay. I haven't bisected to see where the fix is, but it will be resolved for 0.20.0.

Nice, I was using version 0.19.0 from the Arch Linux repos, and the problem is fixed for me after installing sddm-git

FormBurden · 2022-06-13T19:08:06Z

I can also confirm that sddm-git (AUR package) fixes the issue. Hopefully the 0.20 will be pushed out for everyone else soon.

RubenKelevra · 2022-06-14T10:06:40Z

I'm also affected. I'm using systemd-boot on Arch Linux with 5.17.1 kernel.

Kwin version: 5.24.4 sddm version: 0.19.0 plasma version: 5.24.4

I do start Wayland sessions with sddm.

Here's my log from the shutdown until the system stopped logging:

I have pressed CTRL+ALT+DEL to speed up the kill process to two seconds. Otherwise, I need to wait for 2 minutes or so until the system shuts down.

Fixed for me. Not exactly sure which component/version update fixed it but it doesn't happen anymore.

Try installing the latest git version of sddm, it worked for me. Which Linux distro?

still having the same problem. I am using NVIDIA drivers and Installed the sddm-git version through AUR.
https://imgur.com/a/kWYNOwP

Thanks for the help btw. I am closing this issue for now because this is not what I really meant. I know it is a kwin bug.

I have already moved to i3 window managers and after using linux for like 4 years I understood the more bloat you add to a de, more bugs you will face. I tried gnome, xfce and faced no bugs but kde is just horrible. I don't know maybe I should blame nvidia and not linux.

Alfredo-Vargas · 2022-06-22T07:00:41Z

I have a vanilla Arch install with KDE plasma and had the same issue with both Xorg and Wayland. However, reading some sddm related issues on kdde arch wiki gave a hint that it is better to use a rootless sddm install. I used paru to install sddm-git and substitute the previous sddm install. Then I had no longer issues like mentioned here #1476 (comment)

AMD and Intel are great for Linux but I use nvidia. Fuck you nvidia

Luc45 · 2022-10-14T23:08:25Z

I had this issue a while back, I lowered the timeouts and it worked for a while, but after recent updates the issue came back. It seems that after recent updates, systemd configs overrides should be set under "user" rather than "system", for example:

$ cat /etc/systemd/user.conf.d/99-stop-fast.conf

[Manager]
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s

To find out what's hanging during your shutdown, run journalctl -b -1, press Page Down to go to the last line, then go up watching the event times on the right, until you see an event that has a big time difference between one another. In my case plasma-kded.service was hanging for almost 90s.

arcolinuxz · 2022-12-18T07:28:25Z

I can confirm for ArchLinux/ArcoLinux that sddm-git is working for us and does NOT have a slow shutdown with Hyprland
sddm-git 0.19.0.170.g3e48649-1 (Sun Dec 18 08:26:14 2022)

Alternative solutions:

Pressing CTRL ALT F1
Logout to sddm and then reboot or shutdown

maxbernyk · 2022-12-25T07:02:21Z

+1
archlinux
ctrl+alt+f1 somehow releases the break.
but ctrl+alt+f3 is showing the same message ("Running stopping job...") from the shutdown process.
logging out from kde session before shutting down/restarting also helps.

One more solution:
Switch from Wayland to X11.
I'm sure there are settings/configs for that, but also can be done on the login screen. I had to choose another login screen (Elrarun) in the KDE settings, because of the one I was using (Breeze) did not have that choice. After changing to X11 once, it becomes default and it's ok to switch back to any other login screen.

I too uses Hyprland and installing sddm-git from the AUR fixes it.

Although it's unclear which commits fixed it.

Probably this?

Yes.

SDDM >= 0.20.0 has fixed sddm/sddm#1476 and it's no longer necessary to install the lastest development version.
