Desktop not Shutting down properly after kernel update to 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64

Ever since updated to kernel 6.7.11-200.fc39.x86_64, my laptop (thinkpad x270) is not shutting down properly. it is stuck on systemd-shutdown [1] - powering off. This does not happen in the kernel version 6.7.9-200.fc39.x86_64.

Any help will be appreciated. I don’t know what information to provide to solve this issue. please tell me if i need to provide any more information.

Edit: this is very similar to this issue Unable to shut down system after latest kernel update - #12 by parasitelost

Added kernel, shutdown

This seems to be a widespread bug, would you consider using the 6.7.9-200 kernel for now? You can set it as the default if you like in grub and I can walk you through that?

  • sudo grubby --info=ALL | grep kernel will List the available kernel entries using the grubby command
  • Identify the version number of the kernel you want to boot into. 6.7.9-200.fc39.x86_64
  • sudo grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-6.7.9-200.fc39.x86_64 should make it default so you can boot directly into it.

The latest kernel update seems to solve this for others. Can you try it?

in my case, it can be confirmed
after updating the new latest kernel 6.8.4-200.fc39.x86_64 from the update repository
problems related to reboot, shutdown and suspend can be resolved
Likewise, problems with USB detection and power management can be resolved too
