Shutdown message failure

Hi everyone,

I've recently noticed that my Arch is not behaving the way it's supposed to. Every time it shuts down, "Sending SIGTERM to processes" always results in failure. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? And ways to fix it?

To be clear, my laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14) seems to be working fine otherwise. I'm just curious if this is a sign of something that could be dangerous in the future.

which all applications are running while you shutdown the system?

I'm running XFCE, usually with/without these on: Chrome, Thunar, Pidgin. How do I check my background apps?

To see all processes running

$ ps aux

See if /var/log/everything.log has any suspicious entry from the previous shutdown.

not sure if anyone else still has this problem, but thanks to x33a, and some advice in another thread about dropping to bash after fail, i figured out what causes it for me.
it was mounted ntfs drives using auto in fstab. simply specifying to load as ntfs fixes the issue, least for me.
