Workaround: logoff first, then shutdown or reboot.

Camouflage solution:
Edit /etc/systemd/system.conf and find & change these lines:

Code: Select all

DefaultTimeoutStartSec=10s
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s
This will only wait for 10 seconds while starting or stopping jobs and then move on.

Hello ddebbb,
The message is caused by a service not responding to the shutdown command: in [1] you can find the explanation by the author of systemd. Therefore, you should analyze the system log (journal) of a previous shutdown to identify which is the offending service. For example, you could use the following commands as root user:

Code: Select all

journalctl --no-pager -b -1 > journal.log
The journal.log will contain the journal log of the previous boot.

Hello ddebbb,

The log you sent shows an inactivity period of about 1 minute and 30 seconds from 22:33:18 to 22:34:46 that is probably when the "stop job is running" message is shown:

Code: Select all

The last message before the pause is:

Code: Select all

This is not a confirmed evidence that the Plymouth is the stuck program/service, but I suggest you to uninstall it to verify if it is the culprit.

No.

Did you try Bloom's workaround?

Try this for example

Code: Select all

journalctl -r -S yesterday | grep Failed

yes, this works: logoff first, then shutdown or reboot.
this not: Edit /etc/systemd/system.conf and find & change these lines DefaultTimeoutStartSec=10s DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s

Hello,

You could generate a log with a greater detail modifing systemd configuration: see [1].

Re: debian 11 - a stop job is running for user manager for uid 1000

#10 Post by PrivatePearoak »

Hi there!

I'm not sure if that would help, but i've been having a similar problem. My PC can't shutdown because of a service that is never stopping.
I found out it was something related to the Network Manager (to be more specific, it was with the WPA encryption service wpa_supplicant) that was stuck and preventing my PC from turning off.

Anyways, as a test to see if it might be the same issue, try to stop the network manager service (systemctl stop NetworkManager) and try to start it again (systemctl start NetworkManager). If you feel your PC or your terminal is behaving funny, it could be something related to the NM.

I know it seems that i didn't read the post was it was stated in the title that is user manager.
But i was always getting a message that it was the cups service i have here fault, but it wasn't. Maybe it might be the same problem or, at least, related to mine.

Hi everyone. I hope they are well.
I have exactly the same problem and I can't find a solution. I already tried everything I read for four hours and it did not solve the problem.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

I found the problem:
Reboot the system and see what time exactly it was (1:45 am).

Then I did:

Code: Select all

journalctl -r -S yesterday | grep Failed
I found the following line:

sep 05 01:46:33 iruzubieta systemd[679]: app-audacious-16bd03a7f143403b8a11e5a6c671983e.scope: Failed with result 'timeout'.

I stopped Audacious before shutting down the system and then when I shut down the system I no longer had the problem.

I hope you understand why I am using google translator. I speak Spanish.

Thank you!

Hey there, mate! How are you?

I had the same issue with the WPA Supplicant service. Once i stopped the service manually, my computer is turning off normally too.
Since i had a sh file that update and upgrade my system before shutting down, i adapted my script to stop WPA Supplicant before shutting down.
It didn't SOLVE the problem, but at least i could bypass it. hahahaha

Hi, friend! Glad it works.
I have a script that shuts down qbittorrrent before stopping the system and from there it takes me to the shutdown, reboot, etc screen. I got it from another forum, I don't remember which one.
For some reason if I try to stop the system while qbittorrent is running, it will not stop the system. So with this script I stop it earlier.
Modify the script and add a line to it so that Audcious also stops me and it works!

The script:

Code: Select all

#! /bin/bash
pkill -o qbittorrent
pkill -o audacious
qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 1 2 2
I made it executable, copied it to /usr/bin and then created a shortcut for it in the Applications Menu.
Many thanks to the person who created the script originally, wherever you are, I don't remember where I got it from.

Greetings!!!

i have this, but only if i do not manually shutdown conky and protonvpn. With them both shutdown the long timeout goes away. i don't shutdown or reboot often enough for it to be a problem.

Installing systemd from backsports solved this issue.
