Long Shutdown Fixed on Solus but appeared on Mint

Jumpy

I had not used Solus much because my setup was experiencing a weird >40 second long shutdown lag. I had used linux Mint 21 but now as I updated to the latest Mint 22 the shutdown bug was affecting my Mint installation. After choosing shutdown in Mint I have to wait exactly 55 seconds with a blank screen but light keyboard after which some text quickly appear on the screen and both the computer and keyboard eventually power off. However I seem to no longer have this issue in current version of Solus. So I am happy to get back to Solus 😃 and more uptodate software aplications.

Does anyone know about this shutdown issue or has it been affecting just me? Anyway I'm glad it's fixed know in Solus.

PS: My PC is an Intel Nuc if that matters.

I had that problem too, but it went away after I reinstalled Solus a couple years ago.

Yep, the same on CachyOS (Arch). Loooong shutdown times with black screen on laptop keyboard light on. On Solus ? Perfect !! Welcome home mate ^^.

Sounds like that systemd service timeout that defines when remaining running units will be killed after initiating a shutdown. This was adjusted at some point for Solus to be waaaay shorter. Of course the underlying problem are misbehaving services, but the timeout was also quite long.

Was set to 10 seconds.

Staudey That you for your reply this is interesting to know. I just checked /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/ on my Mint installation. There is only one file in this directory. The file is named 50_linuxmint.conf and it already has this exact setting DefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s If I change this setting to 3s my shutdown experience in Mint is still around 55 seconds.
