Shutdown hang (hirsute)

Hello!

My System hangs for a few seconds at shutdown. Which program to blame?

This worked for me on that issue

You need to delete the "splash" entry in the grub menu. It helped me.

in terminal:

Code:

    sudo pluma /etc/default/grub
    Remove "splash" entry,save: Ctrl+o Enter,Ctrl+x and
    sudo update-grub

Also helped, I am running xubuntu 20.04

Code:

sudo apt-get purge xfce4-screensaver

It should mean that you see a scrolling text boot and may be able to see what is attempting to be done when the delay happens.

You can do this for a single boot without making it permanent by hitting "E" at the grub menu (for edit) and then delete quiet splash from the kernel line then Cttrl+X (I think) to boot.
The edit will not last beyond that one boot but can, of course, be repeated if you need to.
