Hi people, For quite some time, but maybe only since I turned to the wayland side, I've had huge delay at shutdown. I eventually rolled up my sleeves and looked under the bonnet.
I used this how-to: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/ #diagnosingshutdownproblems Which allowed me to figure out it was sddm process that systemd was waiting for. Here an excerpt of `shutdown-log.txt`: https://termbin.com/gyi4o Here an excerpt of `Xorg.0.log`: https://termbin.com/9sw1 At which point I tried what other people tried too: instead of shutting down in one single step from plasma session, I first logged out, then shut down from sddm screen. And it resulted in a no delay shutdown. So it seems a no-brainer. System is upgraded doing: (last week or so) aptitude -t unstable dist-upgrade aptitude --target-release experimental install "?narrow(?installed, ?and(? archive(), ?maintainer(debian-qt-...@lists.debian.org)))" Plasma session is definitely `wayland`. gpu is integrated intel. driver is kernel modesetting. Thanks, Chris
