A stop job is running for session 2 of User nan

Nan123 · 2021-10-30 23:09:38

Hello again,

I have fell victim to another minor inconvenience with my arch install, about 1 every 3-4 reboots it says "A stop job is running for session 2 of User nan" and stays that until the 1:30 is up.
I have searched for a fix but it appears the only real solution is to lower the systemd wait time, which I want to avoid if at all possible, here is my journalctl: https://pastebin.com/ETuFqdNd
I am using KDE plasma and the NVIDIA drivers if that helps, I'll help any way I can, Thanks!

I can not find any reference in the journal you posted to session 2 being stopped. Is the end of the journal for that boot missing?

it shouldn't be I just outputted journalctl to a file and pasted it, if you could walk me through how to do I properly I can.

If you do not pass any arguments to journalctl it will dump the entire journal which can be up to 4G in size.
See Journal#Filtering_output to select one boot.

Correction, I dumped it with -b

What do you understand would be recorded in a dump produced with -b? Do you believe it is relevant to a shutdown issue? Have you read the dump output?

I know that it's the current boot, I honestly have no idea was causes it. Yeah I've read it but nothing really seems relevant.

The current boot i.e from power on until you ran the command. That would not include messages related to system shutdown as that has not happened yet.
You need to select a previous boot that has the issue. So you will have to read through the boots until you find one where a session hangs on shutdown.
