Just to let you know that the word is out that to prevent file system corruption in Ubuntu, you need to turn off nepomuk. See below. The problem is triggered if you use Kalarm, even if you shut Kalarm down, nepomuk stays alive and seems to prevent file systems from being unmounted on shutdown.
Thought you guys might be interested.

To: [email protected] I also have this bug. I use KAlarm and my computer with Ubuntu 12.04 (Gnome desktop) took several minutes to shutdown. Link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1764048 gave me the hint how to solve this problem. This link contains methods to prevent te starting up of nepomuk and akonadi in 3 steps. If you don't want to use KAlarm, it might be safe to apply all three steps. However, doing so, KAlarm could not be used. It asked to start-up akonadi first. So I tried what would happen if I only used the two steps preventing the (complete) start-up of nepomuk, and that worked great. KAlarm works and Ubuntu 12.04 shuts down within a few seconds. The steps to apply are: 1. Add the following lines to ~/.kde/share/config/nepomukserverrc (and their sections if they don't exist) (change the value from "true" to "false" if they do exist and are set on "true"; [Basic Settings] Start Nepomuk=false [Service-nepomukmigration1] autostart=false [Service-nepomukstrigiservice] autostart=false 2. Remove the file /usr/share/autostart/nepomukcontroller.desktop, if it exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1053783 Title: Ubuntu 12.04 - Stalled shutdown after having had KAlarm opened; with package info.
