Another technique to try thanks.

I will report any new revelations.

I wrote a thoughtful response to this lost on auto-logout refresh. briefly:

infinite hang
Normal shutdown is speedy.
I will try F3.

Launchpad.net reporting is what I need to read. Thanks I will check that out.

commensurately succinct:

Beginning at Xubuntu Fossa a LIVE boot only shuts down on a thumbdrive.

more Xubuntu testing:

Jammy Jellyfish (22) by USB HD

I had two package options:


network-manager-openvpn
network-manager-openvpn-gnome

UPDATE: I am getting the error on a different machine, Xubuntu Fossa (20) won't shut down.

I have noticed a difference: If I boot the os on a USB, it shuts down. If I boot exactly the same on...

Trying to delete this thread which isn't an obvious option, Tor is running. I suspect a network error or configuration glitch on my system.

This is Tor 13.0.11 / Firefox 115.8 ESR in Xubuntu:

I boot two different versions of Xubuntu by ISO, 16 (Xenial) & 20 (Fossa).

Indeed. I have this weird relationship with Bionic (18) with newer app version support while preferring Xenial. 20 will drive us to new machines or Debian.

I need Ubuntu 16 for customization purposes where Chromium updates to 90.

Chromium 106 works in 16 with normal dependencies.

How do we update the repositories for the most current browsers?

How can I get 120s Chromium .deb for Xenial?
