Why Does My Computer Hang on Shutdown with Instant Replay Active?

Asked By TechieExplorer42 On

I'm having an issue with my Debian 13 system running on X11. Whenever I try to shut down, the gpu-screen-recorder doesn't close properly and prevents the shutdown process for about a minute and a half. I see a message indicating a user job stop with a timer that counts down until the system finally kills the process. Interestingly, this problem doesn't occur when I'm on Wayland. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it? I'm also thinking about writing a logout script as a temporary solution while I figure out the underlying issue.

I can't tell you exactly why it's happening, but I've found that using the command `sudo shutdown -h now` can force everything to close immediately. Just keep in mind that it's a bit harsh, and you might not want to rely on that every time.

Ah, flatpak can be a bit tricky! You might want to try using a native package instead. Sometimes that solves a lot of these issues since flatpak apps can behave differently in terms of system resources and shutdown hooks.
