Answer to Bladud (#10 + #12) I have tried to run the command "ps -el | grep nepomuk" as long as possible after the shutdown command (given with the GUI logout button) using a BASH function giving that command every 2 sec and saving the results in a file. After 20-30 sec. the termninal window disappears and the function stops. I don't find differences in the result just before giving the logout command and during these seconds hanging. I have performed the test twice, once with the nepomuk functions working and programmed to start in the next logon, and once after I had prevented the starting of some nepomuk services at start-up (see #6). Surprisingly the results of these two tests differed slightly.

What happens during the rest of the shutdown cannot be tested easily because the computer is no longer accessible. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-session in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053783 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 - Stalled shutdown after having had KAlarm opened; with package info.
