PC does not shut down immediately

(I’m from Germany and the text was translated with ChatGPT)

I’m using CachyOS with KDE Plasma. When I try to restart or shut down my PC, it takes forever. After a few seconds, a message appears saying: “The following applications did not close: Plasma workspace. You will be logged out anyway in 2 minutes.”

If I click the “Log out anyway” button, it shuts down or restarts immediately. What can I do to get this problem under control?

Additional information: pCloud and openRGB are running in the background.

there are far better choices than chatGPT simply translating text, i can recommend both

  • dialect
  • crow translate

for your future translation needs

as for your shutdown issue, you can always use shutdown now in a terminal if nothing else works.

but you will likely need to dive into the logs to find out more specifics… openRGB is not likely to be the issue, as i have it running as well and it does not inhibit shutdown.

in the system tray, you can check the power management icon to see if anything is blocking your machine from suspend.

ksystemlog is a GUI tool for viewing the log files of the current boot

or use sudo journalctl -b -1 in a terminal to view log files from the previous boot… use END to scroll to the bottom and see what might have been the hang up.

Ok, I’ll use dialect from now on :slight_smile:

I installed ksystemlog and will keep an eye on it. I’m looking forward to the result. Until then, thank you.

Many greetings from Germany

@skyfishgoo Ok, it was one of the alternative mini-programs. To be precise the “Andromeda Launcher”. I now use the “Application Launcher” and the PC shuts down immediately.

Thanks for your help
