Dear Maintainer,


I try to shutdown the PC.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

I get the error message: "A stop job is running for session 2 of user <user>"

The shutdown process then waits 90s before continuing.

sudo journalctl -b-1

shows the following entries:

Dec 28 19:29:14 saturn systemd[1]: session-2.scope: Stopping timed out.
Killing.
Dec 28 19:29:14 saturn systemd[1]: session-2.scope: Killing process 7577
(cinnamon-launch) with signal SIGKILL.
Dec 28 19:29:14 saturn systemd[1]: session-2.scope: Killing process 7623
(gdbus) with signal SIGKILL.
Dec 28 19:29:14 saturn systemd[1]: session-2.scope: Failed with result
'timeout'.

A workaround is to logout first, and then shutdown from the log-in screen.

    * What outcome did you expect instead?

The shutdown process to proceed immediately.

thanks for report, this issue was already reported by others users here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=996668

I din't found the exact cause but on one testing vm where I repoduced it the bug disappaired after 5.2 packages install, 5.2 packages are ready for upload to experimental for weeks but I was unable to find someone that can upload them: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2021/12/msg00082.html

if you want do a fast test with them you can install the packages I did for testing (on http://debomatic-amd64.debian.net/distribution#dpr-cinnamon-unstable), you can find istruction here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-cinnamon/2021/12/msg00006.html
