Interesting. On a machine where I have no such issues, I can see in journalctl info at shutdown: Dec 13 15:44:14 zira systemd[1]: Stopping Load/Save Random Seed... [...] Dec 13 15:44:14 zira systemd[1]: Stopped Load/Save Random Seed. but no such lines on a machine where the issue is present. Any idea of the cause of the difference? -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
