[SOLVED] FW16 Not powering down

[Omri_Abu]

OS: NixOS 24.05
Framework 16 AMD 7940

I have a new fresh installed NixOS on FW16 and when rebooting or powering off the OS shuts down but the power button light stays on, to bring the laptop back up I have to hold the power button to force a shutdown and then restart.

I think this is a kernel bug introduced in 6.6.31. I was running 6.6.30 fine for a while (need 6.6 because 6.7+ has a bug related to the wifi module shipped by Framework). As soon as I upgraded to 6.6.31 I started seeing this issue. Here is a link to a Void GH issue tracking the same problem: Cannot shutdown laptop with linux6.6-6.6.31_1 · Issue #50417 · void-linux/void-packages · GitHub That link also mentions Arch, and I’m on Nix. It seems like a kernel issue, not a problem with a particular…

Thanks for the assist

I can confirm that 6.6.32 is affected; I had the same problem. The notebook wouldn’t power off, neither at poweroff, nor after hibernation, and it would also lock up during reboot. boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest; in my /etc/nixos/configuration.nix solved the problem.

I can state that the v6.6.32 shipped is the problem and updating to the latest version available as for today v6.9.3 resolves the issue. I’ve sent an email regarding this topic to the framework support. It should also be investigated further.

Cheers!
