I could not agree more with Robert Jansen, as I also think the problem is caused by the systemd plague. Steps to reproduce on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th gen:
1) Turn on; shutdown -h now => no problem; 2) Turn on; sleep (e.g. close lid); wake up (e.g. open lid); shutdown -h now => problem! Doing a ps aux | grep systemd, however, does not show any systemd-sleep process that might be hanging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441253 Title: hanging suspend job prevents shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1441253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
