SDDM slowing the shutting down process.

In the last few weeks, I have noticed that each time I try to shutdown my computer, SDDM would delay the process by 2-3 minutes, there is a message: "A stop job is running for simple desktop display manager" and the SSDM logs show the following:

Re: SDDM slowing the shutting down process.

Did you investigate:
