A “stop job” is preventing my computer from shutting down/restarting but not going into sleep mode

If you need to stop or restart in this situation:

Keyb combo: ctrl-alt-F1 to get to a terminal

Login as root

type “shutdown -h now” to turn off

or

type “shutdown -r now” to reboot

I want to make this stop happening, what i usually do is just wait for the system to kill the process but now i want it to function as intended

Then find out what systemd is waiting for.

I changed the timeouts by overriding systemd.conf and user.conf.

As root:

 echo -e '[Manager]\nDefaultTimeoutStopSec=10s\nDefaultDeviceTimeoutSec=30s > /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/10-local.conf
 echo -e '[Manager]\nDefaultTimeoutStopSec=20s\n' > /etc/systemd/user.conf.d/10-local.conf
 systemctl daemon-reexec         # to get systemd to reload its config

If you want to check whether that worked, as a normal user:

 sudo bash -c 'systemctl show --all | grep  Timeout'
 systemctl show --all  |  grep  Timeout
6

How would I do that?
