Unable to poweroff PC with OpenRC

28 June 2025, 09:57:39

Recently my PC with ArtixLinux Plasma 6+OpenRC stopped shutting down. Commands:

shutdown 000
openrc-shutdown -p now
poweroff
loginctl poweroff

do not lead to any result. A black screen appears with the text:

Code: [Select]

The system will power off now!

but the PC continues to operate.
The elogind service is working, OpenRC is not giving any problems. I didn't find any entries in the logs.
How can I shut down the workstation and how can I solve the problem?

I use:

sudo shutdown -h now

successfully with the same system.
