Slow shutdown and cannot troubleshoot

Question

I have problems with a slow shutdown. I followed the instructions to reduce the timeout.
EOS 5.1

I set the timeouts to 9 seconds as answered below but it does not work.

If you press the right arrow key while shutting down you'll see what's delaying the shutdown process. Here you have a guide on how to reduce a delay on Ubuntu 18.04 and elementary Juno. — Maccer, Commented May 10, 2019 at 6:03

Try this

 sudo nano /etc/systemd/system.conf

and edit as the image then run

uncommented (remove the "#") the fields above to

DefaultTimeoutStopSec=9s

Then run this command to reload

systemctl daemon-reload

if you find it still not working, set StartSec to 9s

I believe this is a bug related to cerbere. It’s discussed in more depth in github

The only workarounds that seems to work are:
