Hi,
I haven't done a restart yet to see if that rectifies the issue.

Have you tried executing "systemctl poweroff"?

Thanks Mike, I haven't tried that yet nor have I tried Shutdown --now either. I just wasn't expecting to have to, selecting shutdown from the KDE Throbber should be enough the shut the machine down, which is the normal state of affairs. The nice thing about using systemctl poweroff is you get the reverse of

the "non-quiet" boot sequence: everything is printed to the screen as it's shutting down.  If something causes it to pause you'll be able to see what it is.

Thanks Mike, I'll try that out. It used to be the pressing escape at shutdown would switch it out of quiet shutdown mode, like it does with boot up, but escape isn't working when I am presented with a black screen, and when I leave it overnight the machine is still powered on in the morning and Linux is still sitting at the black screen. The only way to get out of that, without using ctrl+alt+F2 to get a terminal screen to shutdown from, is to press the hard reset button or the use the power button to shut the machine down.

regards,
Steve
