Public bug reported:
Summary
========
In case there is a crashing application as a result of the shutdown command
(Menu -> shutdown ), the shutdown process hangs with the message:
`A stop job is running for crash report submission daemon ( [x]s / 1min
30s)`
Steps to reproduce
==================
- Start an application, that will crash on computer-shutdown (I use easystrokes
or VIPole).
- Shutdown computer via menu (not command line (might work as well, but
untested))
- EXPECTED: computer shuts down quickly; possible crash reports will be
sent the next time the computer gets shut down
- or EXPECTED WORKAROUND: The waiting process can be canceled by Ctrl+C
- ACTUAL: The user can only wait. Cancellation (Ctrl+C / Ctrl+\) won't
work. Only hardware shutdown can cancel the process.
Note
====
Aside from whoopsie specifically, this waiting period with no cancellation is a
general problem, I think. In case several processes prevent the shutdown like
whoopsie does, the user has to wait several minutes (about 15min in one extreme
case).
A solution for this general problem would be the introduction of a screen to
allow users to hard-shutdown any program (like MS Windows does).
