Shutdown is way too slow ( takes 62 seconds )

[berliner]

From the mouse-click on  "Shutdown" button in the logout-menu until the PC is shut down, it takes 62 seconds.
That is way too slow.

I remember it was about 2 or 3 seconds, but I cannot remember when it changed to 62 seconds. Maybe some installation or upgrade of kernel ?

The boot takes 26 seconds, which is very fast for my PC.

I made a test based on my experience with Peppermint 7, where I uninstalled Samba in order to speed up booting and the result was a slow shutdown.

Since Samba isn't installed in whatOS R10, I installed it with

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install samba system-config-samba
Result:  Shutdown is now about 3 seconds.
boot about 27 seconds.

Is this the solution ?
I think so, although I don't understand it.

Weird!  Maybe the Samba stuff pulled in and changed something that your machine needed? 

Good to hear that things are  now!
