i have recently installed OpenSuse 15.4. used 15.3 for a while without any issue. I face i weird problem, my computer can not shutdown or restart or go to sleep mode.
Every time a try one of the above actions i get a a leap logo with a spinning circle and the computer freezes and the only solution is to force a shutdown by pressing the power button.
I use the KDE desktop environment and i have the same behavior with Xfce.
Could you please advice me how i can debug this issue. My laptop is an optimus - intel and nvidia graphics card. Is this the source of the issue?
As i said with leap 15.3 i had never faced such an issue.
My not so good best guess is that there is something corrupt about the upgrade/install … you should post the results of “sudo zypper lr -pE” (or similar) so that we might see from where the packages originate. In my experience, however limited, problems as you describe generally stem from a silly error of some sort. My best guess, your repos are wrong and you are running softwares that conflict with one another.
The the logs during shutdown, interesting the last entry from udev

and the logs from journalctl --list-boots
0 c8064e1d041e45bfbb8d7d529488c041 Tue 2022-08-23 01:30:48 EEST—Tue 2022-08-23 00:30:55 EEST
That the systemd Journal is only listing the current boot is strange.
Please check the result of “journalctl --disk-usage
”.
Please also check the amount of free disk space available for the ‘/var/’ partition.
At a guess, there ain’t no free space left on the ‘/var/’ partition – and therefore, that’s the reason for the power-off failures – the systemd Journal can not be written – and therefore the failed power-off because, Linux will attempt to preserve the current system messages by whatever reason possible including, not powering off in order that, system administrators have a chance to clean up the mess before the system powers off …
You should, possibly, reduce the amount of ‘/var/’ space being used by the systemd Journal – “journalctl --vacuum-time=1months
” (for example) … - You should, definitely, verify the internal consistency of the systemd Journal – “journalctl --verify
”The only method I’ve found to get rid of corrupt Journal files is, to vacuum until the offending Journal file has been removed …
