Hanging at [Systemd: OK] Reached Target Shutdown

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello,
I recently upgraded to LEAP 15.1. (Fresh install) Everything has gone smoothly but it seems that sometimes that during reboot/shutdown sequence the laptop is stuck at

[OK] Reached Target Shutdown

I tried the folllowing:
uncomment/modify

/etc/systemd/system.conf
DefaultTimeoutStopSec=3s

modifying to include “acpi=force” in

/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash=silent quiet mitigations=auto acpi=force"
mkinitrd

The latter changed from being stuck during shutdown to being slow/stuck for less than 1 minute.

It seems to happen to 2 of my Lenovo laptops + my student’s laptop and only on LEAP 15.1, but not on LEAP 15.0

Are there some suggestions for this?
Thanks

If you installed without lvm (Logical Volume Manager), disable:

systemctl disable lvm2-monitor.service

systemctl stop lvm2-monitor.service

Reboot.

Perfect!
Thank you.
I’ve also reverted changes to acpi=force and timeout

and I can confirm that disabling and stopping lvm2-monitor worked perfectly.

Many thanks, Sauerland! I had this same issue with a desktop that I use as a media center and this fixed it. Curiously, this problem only happened with this box, but not on three other upgraded to 15.1, one of them with very similar hardware. Go figure…
