Laptop doesn't shutdown

So, for a while, after turning my screensaver off, my laptop (Lenovo Yoga 2) doesn't turn off. Each time I attempt to do the previous, it shuts off for a few seconds, then it reboots.

I have installed system d, then it turns off properly. For context, I have recently installed several Desktop Environments and I have an updated kernel. The computer worked well for a brief moment. The previous issue arises when I switch Desktop Environment and/or when I update each of them.

Should I only use Trinity, and remove the other Desktop Environments? Mate seems to be working better on my laptop. Lastly, what are the default/recommended settings for tdepower?

I look forward to a fix. Thank you very much.

I have installed system d, then it turns off properly.

Q4OS is based on Debian Bullseye and by default runs on systemd.

Please confirm what you actually installed as the starting point for all this.

Re: Laptop doesn't shutdown

I apologize for the delay. The following are installed:
1) LXDE
2) System X11 Default
3) Default Xsession
4) LXQt Desktop
5) MATE (the snappiest for my laptop)
6) Openbox
7) TDE
8) Xfce session

Kernel: 5.19.0-0.deb11.2-amd64

Re: Laptop doesn't shutdown

Please open a terminal or Konsole depending on your current DE  and enter inxi -F

Copy and paste the out put here please.

When you want to shut down, open terminal and type

sudo shutdown -h 0

   that's a zero at the end.

Does that shutdown and stay down?

Re: Laptop doesn't shutdown

Hmmmm OK.

Trying to sort this type of problem with so many bits and bobs installed is a nightmare. If this were my machine I would first of all back up any personal stuff then wipe and start again. Install Trinity and just the stock kernel.

See how it behaves. If it's still messing try the backports kernel - you'll find the instructions https://www.q4os.org/dqa011.html#system.6 - you have to enable backports in your repos.

I've a vague memory that will also pull in the newer firmware packages.

Please report progress.
