That takes much too long. Dunno about the keyboard shortcut but I'd say, why is the delay happening? Here's a guide for getting better shutdown time information in the journal. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/#index2h1 And then 'sudo reboot -f' will do an abrupt reboot that sidesteps systemd. And yet another way to hand it is to insert this line into /etc/systemd/logind.conf KillUserProcesses=yes When you logout (which happens right after you choose restart from GUI), this will forcibly kill all the user processes in the login session. Just be aware it'll kill everything including screen and tmux sessions when you log out. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
