Yep its the default on fedora with the systemctl tool.

I have not re installed rdesktop as I did not need it as I used the GUI.

I assume it does not expect the GUI to be there and there is a conflict,
but I thought linux would give me a clue!

I had this a year ago and never really sorted it out but I am almost
certain it was the same culprit as I was playing with "Remote Desktop"
and not getting it to work so assumed I needed rdesktop!!

I ended up using journal to catch and copy the late shutdown messages
but do not remember seeing any rdesktop mentioned.

Hello Peter,

journalctl --boot=-1 will show you just messages from the last boot ,
you should also be able to filter by service by adding -fu
rdesktop.service or something similar.

i did wonder if those two letters where chosen with the mindset of
someone debugging a misbehaving service in mind.
It certainly helps me remember them when i need to fix things.

Cheers
Amias

I did (at the time look at boot info but there was nothing there I could
see was giving a problem. What I did find was a way of logging the very
last messages.

Anyway its OK now
