Slow Shutdown - then00b - 06-23-2016
Hello there! My laptop used to shutdown very quickly, but suddenly it slowed down. Is there anyway to bring back the quickness of it? Thanks! :-\

I just did a fresh install of 3.4 x64 and have the same thing. The drive and the install seem pretty snappy, otherwise. I tested a large file transfer and it was very fast. Bootup isn't fast, but it's not bad either. Also, I didn't see any noticeable unnecessary processes that would clog things up, at least to my eye.

that depends on what software you have added to your system since you first installed. Consider that it may also be a hardware issue and not related to linux at all.

1- Wifi cards (when service takes a long time to shutdown you'll experience this)
2- CUPS (shared printers)
Here is a tip to "pinpoint" either service:
1- For wifi test - uncheck the "Enable wireless" option in Network settings and reboot... see if the shutdown returned to usual speed.
2- For CUPS ... from Terminal, execute: sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed (it might take a while to stop)... then reboot or shutdown to test the shutdown speed.

Ok, thank you. Sounds logical. I'll give that a try next time I see the machine. My friend is happily using it already.

Just to note that I found the root of the problem - inadvertently, on a different machine. It is LibreOffice's QuickStart utility. The machine was shutting down very quickly, until I turned LO QS on. Then, molasses. It took me a few days to remember what I had changed, and then as soon as I disabled it the problem was gone.
BTW, QS is deprecated in LO, and in the not distant future will be eliminated.
Thanks again everyone for the help.
