Can you try replacing your /etc/init.d/umountroot and /etc/init.d/umountfs with the ones from http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jamesodhunt/ubuntu/trusty/sysvinit/log- open-files-on-shutdown/revision/193 and attaching an updated syslog file?
The end of your syslog shows that wpa_supplicant is still running, so it may be that network-manager is holding up the shutdown (it's happened before). Also, nullmailer is still running and is very chatty. Could you try disabling that too to see if that helps (remove the package or modify /etc/init.d/nullmailer). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371469 Title: system hangs on shutdown/reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1371469/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
