Hi,
I am still getting a slow shutdown ("there is a stop job running for
user peter..") and I had shortened the time out to 30 seconds as an
interim cure but no updates have sorted the problem and more recently I
was having problems that akmods not loading so put the time back to
90seconds.
Recently found this (though not fedora):
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/1615
and I followed the suggestion:
"Potomac commented on 30 Mar":
Create a file "/etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf" with
kernel.core_pattern=core
What does this do and is this just a bodge!?
(it does seem to stop the delay!)
Regards

After being advised years ago to leave my router switched on 24/7, I
had been doing this for years (with Eclipse).
I recently changed to VM with their "Smart Hub" cable router (Netgear)
and left it on for a month then started to have problems logging on and
phone their support line.
After some diagnostics from their end, I was told that the modem had
been on too long and to switch it off and on again to cure the problem.
After a further quite long discussion trying to get him to explain what
caused it he said it was a cable modem and they all have this problem if
left on 24/7 and that I should switch it off every week to keep it at
peak performance!
Is his explanation anyway near true, or am I being told "porkies"!?
(For the non-London readers, Porky Pies = lies)
Regards

Mines on 24/7 without fault. However I use a unifi AP.

If it's true, then the design of their router is somewhat sub-optimal...

They are telling you porkies buddy, even before the unifi AP I had no
connection issues. Not unless they were caused by line drops.
I would ask them for a replacement device and ask them to send that one for
diagnostics.

I leave mine on 24/7, but the old version (updated recently) did start to die if I downloaded lots of very big files and needed a reboot. Must be a mem leak or summat. New one seems fine.
