I recently installed Kubuntu 21.10 bare metal on my laptop. It’s working great except for this one issue. Intermittently, when shutting down, I get the following message:
A stop job is running for session 3 of user <username>
It then waits for 90 seconds and only continues shutting down after this times out. I can only assume that a process or daemon won’t close and has to be terminated after this timeout period. I don’t know enough about Linux yet to troubleshoot this but I would like to learn about the innards.
Would anyone have any ideas? Once the timer hits zero it shuts down very quickly so I can't see much. Is the console output logged anywhere so I can see what it does after it times out?
