[Bug 1441253] Re: hanging suspend job prevents shutdown

Wed Dec 21 13:10:05 UTC 2016

Xubuntu 16.04 user here on EXT4. I don't use suspend on my Dell Latitude
laptop at all. Was just trying to reboot after noticing my network
manager indicator icon was in limbo and 'lo and behold:

% sudo -H shutdown -P now
Failed to start poweroff.target: Transaction is destructive.
See system logs and 'systemctl status poweroff.target' for details.

% systemctl status poweroff.target

I work with the lid closed on a dual monitor system.

Digging through the journal is interesting due to:

Somehow the system was trying to go to sleep with me actually working on
it.

Unless... I did log out and in again for fixing up my input methods. But
why would systemd register a XFCE logout as a request to suspend?
