Try #172

[Zerophase]

I have the same issue. I configured auto login, and my shutdown seems to behave slightly differently. Might be a workaround.

When I shutdown I go to a black screen with a black cursor. If I hold the power button down I exit out of lightdm to the tty, and the shutdown process continues.

#172 fixes the issue on my end.

Thanks for the quick fix @leigh123linux

On Arch, you can patch your cinnamon-session until it's fixed in the repo:

cd /tmp/
pkgctl repo clone --protocol=https cinnamon-session
cd cinnamon-session
sed "/build()/ased '/maybe_restart_user_bus (manager);/d' -i \${pkgname}-\${pkgver}/cinnamon-session/csm-manager.c" -i PKGBUILD
makepkg -cirs

Basically, pull the official PKGBUILD, insert a sed command to drop the call to maybe_restart_user_bus(), install the build dependencies, build, install, remove the dependencies.

This worked perfectly. I also learned something new today. So, thank you for that!

Is only Arch affected by this issue or how can it be that Linux Mint 22 beta was released today without a fix for this?

[emperor06]

Hard to tell. The update arrived today on Manjaro stable and I didn't have any issue, while both Arch and Cachy couldn't reboot/shutdown. There are probably other factors. I guess it's well tested on Mint, though.

As far as I can tell, it doesn't occur on Mint. At least I've never run into it.

fedora f40 and rawhide were affected, openmandriva also use my PR
Other distro's are probably affected by this but they haven'y updated to 6.2.0 yet.

May I ping you @mtwebster and @clefebvre to get awareness into this painful issue?

This worked for me too, thanks!

Before patching, is it a viable workaround to log out of Cinnamon and shut down or restart from the login screen instead?

[archiebug]

Yes- logging out of the session and then shutdown/restart from login works.

Just hitting the power button works too. After you get the black screen with a cursor, briefly pressing the power button should cause the rest of your shutdown process to continue.
