(Get the code!)
Whenever any of the 3 issues occur this text is displayed:
"*Starting anachronistic cron anacron
*Starting deferred execution scheduler ATD
*Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt-support
*Checking battery state
*Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"
Just below that the cursor is flashing.
So just to reiterate this is always displayed with no hang on logout; it is frequently displayed with a hang when going from the login screen to XDMCP; and is rarely displayed with a hang on shutdown.
I've attached my logs.
I tried logging in and logging straight back off again at 10:44 May 14th (so this was when the text was displayed, but the PC didn't hang).
At about 10:48 I then logged off and clicked options and XDMCP. The text was displayed but there was no crash this time. So I clicked cancel and tried options XDMCP again, this time it did hang, as usual with the text and flashing cursor. I waited a while and eventually pressed power which made *Stopping Gnome display manager appear, and after a short delay the PC shutdown successfully. Then I rebooted to write this!
I haven't been able to reproduce the shutdown hang for awhile, as I said it happens very rarely.
