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). lsb_release -rd =============== Description: Ubuntu 20.10 Release: 20.10 apt-cache policy whoopsie =========================== whoopsie: Installed: 0.2.72.2 Candidate: 0.2.72.2 Version table: *** 0.2.72.2 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy-updates/main amd64 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy-security/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.2.72 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu groovy/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.10 Package: whoopsie 0.2.72.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-52.59-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-52-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu50.6 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Sat May 8 16:01:13 2021 RelatedPackageVersions: apport-noui N/A SourcePackage: whoopsie UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: whoopsie (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug autoreport-true groovy third-party-packages -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1927813 Title: Whoopsie working is blocking shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whoopsie/+bug/1927813/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
