Anyone else having a slow shutdown response? I click shutdown, and then nothing happens for a long time. Anywhere from 10 to 60 seconds. The taskbar and panels are unresponsive during this time, though application windows are still responsive. Finally the shutdown is initiated and then it moves along quickly thru the kernel portion and powers off. I've seen this on two different Sony laptops.
I tried the suggestion of disabling the logout sound. Didn't help.
What is probably happening is the the session manager, responsible for managing the desktop logout, requests that all apps close themselves. When this is complete, the desktop is logged out and the OS can shut itself down. I assume something is taking a long time to wrap up what it is doing and let the session manager know it is ok to proceed.
I would try testing with logout, not shutdown, and try closing all the running apps you can see before logging out. Then check if any particular process is busy (CPU) at the time of the shutdown.
Thanks for the tips. I tried some different things and made a discovery. It seems that if I logout or shutdown using the mouse/menu then it goes quickly and works fine. However if I press my power button (which I have set to do shutdown) then I get the lag. That is an odd discrepancy. Sounds like bugzilla time. If I recall it was similar for me in 11.4.
