Hi, ---------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: my system: Linux/Lubuntu 18.04.2 LTS, 64 bit ---------------------------------------------------------------- I shut down my system with the terminal-command "shutdown -H -P +0" or "poweroff". But the observed phenomenon may also be seen when shutting down from the panel. I changed my grub-config from GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="noplymouth" in order to get screen output of the logs. And here I see an entry reading "failed unmounting /home" (in red). After that came some more messages which all were O.K. Everything else was in green with an "O.K." in front. I don´t know why I get this message because the shutdown works well despite that error message. In fact it shuts down really fast. So I took alook at journalctl. It shows me the following: [...] Apr 05 18:16:19 rosika-Lenovo-H520e umount[25556]: umount: /home: das Ziel wird gerade benutzt. # /home is currently in use Apr 05 18:16:19 rosika-Lenovo-H520e systemd[1]: Unmounting /media/rosika/28BC-DAFC...

So I looked up the proceses before shutdown: ps -ax | grep -i pulseaudio 1515 ? Sl 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog 2348 ? Sl 0:01 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog 3820 pts/2 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto -i pulseaudio There are two pulseaudio processes running (!). I don´t know why. This is the state immediately before shutdown. All programmes are closed and nothing should be running regarding pulseaudio. So I perform " killall pulseaudio" immediately before shutdown. After that I get no error messages at all. Does anybody know what can be done about this? Tnx a lot in advance.
