[SOLVED]systemd is waiting 90s for lxqt-session to stop?

[kanliot]

I'm used to just rebooting this pc by typing "reboot"

However, now lxqt-session seems to be not exiting if there are open applications on sparky-rolling.    I strongly disagree with this change, since it it  means I can do less things from the terminal.

Basically, it means you type reboot, then watch systemd wait for 90s for something to exit.

Please I would like advise on how to properly report this problem.
Thank you.

Try systemctl reboot

To be able to see what is the hang up you could look at the tail end of your systemd journal for previous session.  You might need tail -300 or more.

sudo jourrnalctl -b -1 | tail -150                ## or
sudo journalctl -b -1 | tail -300 | less

If it is a bug in lxqt-session  - I don't see one filed upstream.

Pretty quiet in lxqt-session development I don't see many changes in lxqt-session

peace out and off to work

1. journald logging wasn't working, i had to create /var/log/journal to make the logs persistent.
2. the problem seems dependent on which websites I visit, If i just have firefox open it actually does reboot
3. the one time i tried systemctl restart, that worked also

One of "volatile", "persistent", "auto" and "none". If "volatile", journal log data will be stored only in memory, i.e. below the /run/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if needed). If "persistent", data will be stored preferably on disk, i.e. below the /var/log/journal hierarchy (which is created if needed), with a fallback to /run/log/journal (which is created if needed), during early boot and if the disk is not writable. "auto" is similar to "persistent" but the directory /var/log/journal is not created if needed, so that its existence controls where log data goes.

^ Just including this because I'm in a bad temper.  Now you have to read it too.


you can see that it takes 89s not 90s between the first 2 lines and the rest

Gonna have a smoke then I'll take a look at my dpkg log.  I know exactly when the problem started so...I can make progress there.
BTW, how do you download old versions of sparky packages, and get both  versions of the source code?

Ok, had a vape and that fixed everything.

I figured out that it wasn't what webpage I had open, it was that any kind of app opened through lxpanel (i hardly use lxpanel) causes the problem.

thansk for the help lami07 and paxmark1.

if you please, suggest improvements to the bug I filed, I'm about 70% sure I identified the problem.
