"A step job is runing for session c2 of user..." when sutting down PC (1m30 wait time)

When restarting/sutting d own my pc with UB 17.10,
I always have to wait 1.30 minutes… and see

" A step job is runing for session c2 of user… "

On internet I read that doing :
loginctl session-status c2

Would help me find who’s may be guilty.

It’s not the end of the world to wait 1.30 minute but it I can get rid of it, would be cool

Maybe something here will help https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/273876/a-stop-job-is-running-for-session-c2-of-user

Basically there is something running on your current session that is not responding to a shutdown request.

So it’s worth having a look at what processes are running that may have been installed and started recently since your issue began to occur.
