As far as I can tell modem-manager keeps getting respawned (pid changes) on my machine (always as a child of init, pid 1).
I tried to: 1) service modem-manager stop 2) kill the process with killall 3) comment the start line in /etc/init/modemmanager.conf and reboot Whatever I did there was always a /usr/sbin/modem-manager running... upstart bug? Purging the package from the system did improve the shutdown time noticeably. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070647 Title: modem-manager causes slow shutdown/reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/modemmanager/+bug/1070647/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
