Random system shutdown when switching to Nvidia

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Trying both 0.7.1-1 and 0.8-2 versions of optimus-manager I encounter the same issue, after 2 or 3 switches from the system-tray my laptop completely shuts off when switching from Intel to Nvidia.

With the prior releases of optimus-manager I have not encountered this problem.

System info OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64 Host: 20217 Lenovo IdeaPad Y510P Kernel: 5.0.5-1-MANJARO Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: KDE 5.15.3-1 CPU: Intel i7-4700MQ (8) @ 3.400GHz GPU: Intel 4th Gen Core Processor GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M Memory: 1958MiB / 7892MiB

Logs I cannot, or I don’t know where I can find the logs because the laptop completely shuts down.

I have tested the new modifications made and now the problem with sessions not closing is gone and in my testing the system didn’t shut down randomly anymore.

Still there remains the problem with sddm.conf in Manjaro because of DisplayCommand and DisplayStopCommand but I believe that this issue can be closed.

Thank you for your help!

No I didn’t made any changes to sddm.conf

pacman -Qo /etc/sddm.conf outputs: error: No package owns /etc/sddm.conf

And yes, running loginctl gives me 2 sessions:

SESSION  UID USER      SEAT  TTY
      2 1000 socterean seat0    
      5 1000 socterean seat0    

2 sessions listed.

And journalctl -u systemd-logind -b0 --no-pager outputs:
