Laptop hangs on shutdown/power off - Intel/Nvidia - "commit wait timed out"

[kolens]

​Hi everyone,
​I'm running into an issue where my Linux laptop fails to power off correctly. This started happening recently, and I’m not sure what triggered it.
​Specs:
​CPU: Intel i7
​GPU: Nvidia
​Setup: External monitor connected via HDMI
​When I try to shut down, the process hangs and I get the following CRIT errors related to the display pipe:

[CRIT:...] pipe #) flip_done timed out
[CRIT:...] pipe #) commit wait timed out
[CRIT:CRTC:...:pipe-#] commit wait timed out
[CRIT:Displayplane:...] commit wait timed out

Has anyone encountered this "flip_done" timeout before? Any advice on whether this is a driver conflict or a specific kernel issue would be appreciated.

You might try switching to Xorg, as this is much more prevelant on Wayland.
Or, try adding the following grub parameter : i915.enable_fbc=0
Do Not Use nomodeset.

[HOW TO] add a grub parameter

There may be times that a user must add a specialized grub parameter in order to overcome an issue. The purpose of this guide is not to provide parameters, as that would be a case by case basis. It is to provide a guide on how to add one. To add a parameter, in a terminal (TTY, Recovery Prompt or Terminal Emulator) run: sudo nano /etc/default/grub Arrow key down to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and place your parameter within the quotation tags. For example if you are adding th…

It will look like GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i915.enable_fbc=0"

Tap ctrl+o to overwrite, then enter key to save as current configuration. Tap ctl+x to eXit the editor.
Now, you must run

sudo update-grub

and reboot to test.

Is this straight HDMI to HDMI or is any Adapter or Hub used?
