Unexpected shutdown behavior

when I go to shutdown it doesnt shut down properly.

    • I pres shutdown
    • Message appears that system will shutdown in 60s, I press shutdown again
    • screen goes black and message appears: Broadcast message from user@pc The system will power off now!
  1. *login screen appears - proceeds to login
  2. *desktop with icons appears
  3. *system shuts down after 20s

Whole system shutdown takes 30s

I tried recovery mode repair but that didnt solved things.

When the Notification come and You confirm it, You shouldn't get a Message like You posted on #3. Can You make a Picture of it to show it here?

Here you go. Fun fact, after this shutdown I only got background imagine, with no apps. (win key works, cant enter terminal) :rofl:

But the procedure was the same,
Promt appeared quickly followed by login, then system shut down.

Well i might have found the underlying problem the virt instance is probably preventing proper shutdowns. I have tried shutdown without logging back in and got this:

either this or idk rly what else could be causing it. (this now disppays during shut down process)

So, You run Zorin in a VM?

No, zorin it self is main os. I have virt-manager running windows for winapps using libvirt and it really seems like main issue. When I stop VM manualy system now shuts right off without going to login screen. (tho one time it again loaded without any apps and I had to go to recovery to fix GRUB). I have tried to edit /etc/systemd/system.conf DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s to something like 10s.

I have also tried edit the libvirt-guests file with ON_SHUTDOWN=shutdown SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=0

Tho neither of them had any effect what so ever. So if you have any ideas how to get arround this it woud be greatly apprisiated.

ps: I have tried to set the "ON_SHUTDOWN=" to "suspend" but result is also the same (ie shutdown hangs up, returns to login screen)

Maybe use a VM with Windows and inmstall the Windows Program You need normal there. Or You could try this new Program called WinBoat.
