hi!

looks like a duplicate of bug #1447038

Having said so it's listed in the release notes of some flavors, (but kubuntu):

Awesome - Here is my fix.

I had tried everything (10-20 different fixes, and getting frustrated - tough to troubleshoot), but this worked.

And i will re-iterate it for others.

Reduce the timeout in `/etc/systemd/system.conf`:

**Remove #** from these lines to activate them, and change timings in these following lines (they were 90 seconds!):

    DefaultTimeoutStartSec=5s

    DefaultTimeoutStopSec=5s

In terminal

    sudo -H gedit /etc/systemd/system.conf

Save, Exit (reload it to confirm the changes as i had some strange "Gedit Errors)

Then run:

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload

Reboot now in 5-10 Seconds - Awesome !

Say Thanks, Mark
