this problem is still present on my machine (12.04) since I can remember. Shutdown happens always fast. Only if I mounted nfs-devices the shutdown progress hangs after stating that "killing all processes failed".
As the patches talked about in this thread are quite old (2009), I do not want to install them to my system. Standing by for further testing if needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113095 Title: On shutdown, NetworkManager shuts down before NFS unmounts, causing a long hang Status in “dbus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I use NFS and NIS to connect some workstations to a server and /home is mounted with NFS from the server. The the system shuts down NFS and NIS cant connect to the server and do a correct shutdown because NetworkManager shuts down all network connections earlier in the proces. This results in NFS and NIS doing long timeouts and the shutdown or restart process takes about 10-15 minutes.
