Shutdown takes very long time (> 2 min), possibly due to network issues

Hi all,

Thanks for considering this post.

OS: OpenSuse 11.2 64 bit
Machine: HP 8540p i5 4Gb

Shutting down my machine takes a very long time! Not convenient when one want to pack his laptop (I don’t dare to when the fan is still blowing).

Upon shutdown, I press ‘esc’ and see what’s happening. The last commands seem to hang. First, shutting down the network interfaces seem to last long than needed (eth0, pan0, wlan0). Sometimes, it stalls also on “networkmanager disconnecting from DBUS” (or something like this :sarcastic:) (which is the very last command executed). Hmm, I will write the exact command down.

If somebody can help me on this? Thanks!

Joachim

So are you using Wireless or a hardwired connection when you get these hangs? Have you considered disabling Network Manager and just using ifup? ifup normally works just fine with eth0 and has worked for me with wireless, though for unencrypted networks.

Thank You,
