GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 794009
Tracker seems to hinder timely system shutdown
Last modified: 2018-03-03 08:33:37 UTC
Since ages my Arch Linux system won't shutdown quickly because systemd is waiting for a stop job of User Manager for UID 1000 (which is my user). In https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1615#issuecomment-351433148 I was told that I could find out the faulty process which doesn't properly terminate using systemd-cgls, and that's what I got: │ └─user-1000.slice │ └─user@1000.service │ ├─init.scope │ │ ├─2140 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --user │ │ └─2141 (sd-pam) │ └─tracker-store.service │ └─2471 /usr/lib/tracker/tracker-store So it seems like the tracker-store process won't terminate and systemd is waiting two minutes before it kills it to complete the shutdown procedure. I have this problem only on my Arch Laptop (constantly, for at least half a year). On my Arch workstation (which does have the very same versions of GNOME, tracker, etc.), the problem never occurred. My current tracker version is 2.0.3 with GNOME 3.26 and systemd 237.64.
Gosh, just now I've seen the issue is already reported as Bug 793027. Never mind! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 793027 ***
