Hi
I am puzzled as to what is going on with preload during a system shutdown.
A lot of time passes with messages announcing that preload is "laying out" various applications. This is irritating. Waiting a long time for a computer to shut down is more frustrating than waiting for it to start up.
I can imagine it is only so when you're waiting to plug it off and do some hardware upgrade.
Otherwise, why would you need to wait for it to shut down? You can go about your business and leave it to do it by itself.
Hi Several instances. I run SUSE on a laptop that sometimes needs to be rebooted into another operating system. The additional wait for SUSE to shut down is annoying. (It is not always possible to do a software suspend because there is a shared partition.) This other OS manages to shut itself down cleanly in about 5 seconds. SUSE takes nearer 20. Alistair
