'Failed unmounting Temporary Directory /tmp.' at shutdown or reboot
I read a couple similar posts on this forum with the same issue, and they were solved by tracing the culprit process via `fuser -c /tmp`.
For me, I tried two scenarios:
1. login gnome, then shutdown. Three processes were using /tmp before shutdown,
gnome-session-binary
gnome-shell
Xwayland
2. login console without GUI, then shutdown. No processes show up when running `fuser -c /tmp`.
The problem for me is, BOTH scenarios give me the warning, even for the 2nd scenario when I didn't even login GUI and no processes use /tmp.
Any suggestions?

Re: 'Failed unmounting Temporary Directory /tmp.' at shutdown or reboot
Some shutdown process is probably writing there?
Can you "umount /tmp" before shutting down from the console?
If so, the mountpoint (w/o the tmpfs mounted) later on might hold a clue what's writing there.
Also check the shutdown process in the system journal.
