Ubuntu 17.10 takes very long time to shut down

I have installed a fresh Ubuntu 17.10 and it takes long time to shutdown. We are talking about 10 minutes.

My computer:

Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575G-55F8
CPU: Intel Core i5-7200U
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 940MX
Ram: 8GB
HD: 128 GB SSD

Image of shutdown

Any suggestions?

Edit 2017-10-28:

After I changed the grapich driver to Nvidia I was able to get more output from the shutdown: Network and WPA Supplicant shutdown took 5 minutes

Rest of shutdown

Edit gparted: Gparted1 Gparted2

Solution 1:

My educated guess would be that it is related to WiFi. Try to turn off WiFi before shutting down and see how that works out for you.

Solution 2:

For some reason your encrypted /swapfile is not being setup correctly, and as such you're not using swap at all.

The main problem seems to be in your /etc/crypttab file.

Edit this file with ...

sudo -H gedit /etc/crypttab

change this:

cryptswap1 /target/swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

to this:

cryptswap1 /swapfile /dev/urandom swap,offset=1024,cipher=aes-xts-plain64

Then...

sudo swapon -a # enable swap
free -h # review memory and swap usage
swapon -s # review swap summary

Note: gparted won't start for you because you're probably running 17.10 gnome on wayland. Best to log out, and at the login screen, click the cog wheel and select gnome on xorg and now gparted (and other apps) will run properly.

Solution 3:

I had same issue, on my Dell Latitude E6540. I solved it by chance, after install software to read SD card with ex-fat format.
I ran this:

sudo apt install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

And a very long time to shut down issue was disappared.
I don't konw why, but it worked.

Ubuntu 17.10 takes very long time to shut down
