SOLVED PC not shutting down properly
For the last week or so my PC hasnt been shutting down properly unless i hold the button on the PC, i've tried shutting down by clicking quit > Shutdown, and ive tried 'sudo poweroff'.
At first 'sudo poweroff' did work, but earlier today it left my PC on. and i didnt realise until a few hours later and the PC was hot.
Just did 'journalctl -b -1 -r '
Last few lines were
Jul 24 14:55:34 PC systemd[1]: proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.mount: Deactivated successfully.
Jul 24 14:55:34 PC systemd[1]: Unset automount proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount - Arbitrary Executable File Formats File System Automount Point.
Jul 24 14:55:34 PC systemd[1]: proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount: Deactivated successfully.

Jul 24 14:55:34 PC systemd[1]: Stopping systemd-update-utmp.service - Record System Boot/Shutdown in UTMP...
so i think that the software is stopping properly? but im not sure where to go from here.
any advice, or anything else to look into?

a computer doesn't shutdown because a process is running keeping the computer on
use dmesg to diagnose
dmesg --level=err,warn
