SDDM restarting on shutdown

[hasezoey]

What is happening

Currently, most of the time i try powering down my system (or restarting), sddm restarts in the shutdown, i dont know why it happens, but my guess it is not really related to the kde (wayland) session

System Information

My System is basically a Manjaro 21.2(pre1) with pulseaudio swapped for pipewire and also installed plasma-wayland-session

Main Session used: Wayland (plasma)

kernel: (uname -a) Linux Meicoo-Manjaro 5.15.2-2-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Nov 13 19:25:38 UTC 2021 x86_64 GNU/Linux
sddm: (pacman -Ss sddm) extra/sddm 0.19.0-7 [installed]
sddm-kcm: (pacman -Ss sddm) extra/sddm-kcm 5.23.3-1 (plasma) [installed]
plasma-wayland-session: (pacman -Ss plasma-wayland-session) extra/plasma-wayland-session 5.23.3-1 [installed]

in case it matters:
the system is on btrfs, with snapshots from snapper on a SSD

The following issues may be related, but are (from what i can tell) not my exact case:

• SDDM takes 90 seconds to exit when restarting the system from within KDE #610
• Slow shutdown problems in kde plasma with sddm #1476

I'm having this same issue on Arch Linux, with a wayland/kde config similar to @hasezoey :

My root filesystem is f2fs, nothing too fancy.

[felagund]

This also seems to happen on Kubuntu (21.10 and current 22.04).

[RodJLinux]

I'm running Manjaro Qonos 21.2.6, KDE Plasma 5.24.5, kernel 5.15, X11 on three completely different systems and all have this bug since about May 2021.

I have a workaround mitigation for those who are experiencing this bug:
Edit /etc/systemd/system.conf and change the line #DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s to DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s
This at least reduces the delay to a more acceptable and realistic five seconds. I have been using this with a delay of 10 seconds for at least nine months without any issues, but I can't absolutely guarantee it won't cause a problem (use at your own risk).

One commentator elsewhere recently said a process these days should not take more than a few ms to exit, 90 seconds is way too long IMHO.

[JacekJagosz]

I am also getting the same issue on Solus since I switched from Plasma X11 to Plasma Wayland. It might have been happening sometimes on X11, that would explain long shutdowns sometimes, but with Wayland it happens almost every time.

Happening also to me. I'm running sway v1.7

For what its worth, the issue went away for me running sddm-git (from the CachyOS Arch repo).

I'm not sure what you mean. Did you uninstall sddm package, downloaded the git repo and built sddm from source?

The CachyOS Arch Linux repo has a prebuilt version of sddm git. I just installed it with pacman.

Maybe it has some other fixes applied? I'm not sure, I was simply told that would probably fix my sddm issue, and it did. 🤷

There may be a similar package on the AUR.

Happening on EndeavourOS with Sway. Can confirm that sddm-git fixes it.

This bug also occurs for me. But only with Wayland sessions (I'm using KDE Plasma) X11 sessions shut down normally.

This was fixed by #1445.
