[SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

When shutting down there is always displayed message "A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager [0s/1m 30s]", and it usually takes around 5 to 15 seconds to complete.
I would provided journalctl logs, but after following this wiki page, and configuring noclear.conf drop in file using 

sudo systemctl edit getty@tty1.service/noclear.conf

messages are still cleared by systemd.
"journalctl --list-boots", only displays current boot.
I also have found this post, which has the same issue, but in the end author didn't solve the issue with SDDM.

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

What is the content of /etc/systemd/journald.conf?

Are you using Wayland or X11?

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

No such file or directory

Why?
See the top of https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd/Journal and recreate the directory and restart journald.
Then reboot and hopefully get some log to share.

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

There's a bug if you end a Wayland KDE session that SDDM doesn't receive the signal properly. Is the shutdown instantaneous if you switch to the VT SDDM is on? Ctrl+Alt+F1 by default. You can "fix" that by opting for sddm-git which has quite a few fixes in that regard as well as native SDDM wayland support.

Oh, I might have forgotten to mention that I am on X11, not wayland.

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

Yes I noticed after checking the logs and you don't really appear to have a "traditional" (90 secs by default due to the stop job actively not quiting) delay. What I'm seeing however is optimus running a stop job script, so this might be simply cleanup from there.

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

Plasma crashes out of the session and then there's

sddm-helper "crashes" with a SIGTERM and restarts/gets restarted

Try to log out of the KDE session and then shutdown/reboot from SDDM - does the stop job delay still happen?

After shut down directly from sddm, it's shutdowns normally without stop job.
And about optimus manager, I have already opened issue, because it seems that pr that once fixed the issue with long boot time was reverted.

Re: [SOLVED] A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager

Since the symptoms fit and I'm not sure about the plasma/wayland aspect, try sddm-git
