[Bug 1706939] Re: A live session can't be shut down due to "[ *** ] (2 of 2) A start job is running for ... (21s / no limit)"

[Daniel van Vugt]

Ah. I can reproduce this using image 20180408 on a Lenovo X250 (after
completing a full install). But most machines are not showing the
message. Certainly there are lots of shutdown hangs in live sessions,
but they're mostly not showing this error message any more.

** Summary changed:

- A live session can't be shut down due to "[ ***  ] (2 of 2) A start job is running for ... (21s / no limit)"
+ A live session can't be shut down due to "[ ***  ] (2 of 2) A start job is running for ... (22s / no limit)"
