I know it seems simple, and yet in practice it doesn't work (or rather, sometimes it works, mostly it doesn't). For example: In dom0, I added `udisks2.service` on the `After=` line of `qubes-core.service` (did do the required `sudo systemctl daemon-reload` - looks like `sudo` isn't required, thanks to passwordless sudo I suppose) then I the next reboot (from xfce Menu->Logout->Restart) seems to have worked in the sense that there were no more timeouts reported on the log, then the next reboot the timeouts were back. Seen here: https://gist.github.com/constantoverride/61207ebf622263d25fb1e5b1f11d0148/9443ef0babe29b32622dd0f17a2435a9e0f1df92#gistcomment-2696596 Another example, instead of `udisks2.service` I added `dev-block-253:0.device` on the `After=` line of `qubes-core.service`, then the next TWO reboots were fine!(aka no `timed out` or `timeout` reported, but on the third reboot the timeouts were back, without me changing anything. All of that seen here: https://gist.github.com/constantoverride/61207ebf622263d25fb1e5b1f11d0148/9443ef0babe29b32622dd0f17a2435a9e0f1df92#gistcomment-2696607 (the contents of `qubes-core.service` can be seen one or two pages above the linked comment; the actual log of the reboots are linked to in the comment) Maybe it's a systemd bug? but since dom0 is stuck with Fedora 25 (as opposed to Fedora 28), then I cannot get it upgraded, I believe. Another example, I even tried replacing `dev-block-253:0.device` with `system.device` (later with `system.device systemd.device`) but there were no reboots (so far) that didn't time out. Anyway, the point is: I don't know how to make use of systemd so that this stalling doesn't happen on reboot/shutdown https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-issues/issues/1581#issuecomment-417968474 :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
