Description

With Tails3.0beta1, beta2 and beta3 the emergency shutdown is very slow with a Toshiba Satellite:

Steps to reproduce:

- Start Tails 3.0beta3
- Take out the USB stick

What happens:

- The Desktop stays there, untouched, for 8 seconds. Then starts to corrupt for some 5 seconds more, then finally a black screen and a blinking CapsLock key.
I need to manually press the power button to make it shut down.

What should happen:

Before 3.0, the screen went black in maybe 2-3 seconds.

I can test other ISOs on this hardware.

What’s the behavior of non-emergency shutdown triggered by the icons in the top-right GNOME menu?

When I press the icon the screen blacks out inmediately, gives the message of ‘now you can take out the USB.. etc’ during approx 12 seconds, and then shuts down.

Ah, that’s interesting. So only emergency shutdown is affected. Thanks!

Please try to reproduce with 3.0~rc1 once it’s out: I have good hopes that my branch for Bug #12354 will fix that.

Indeed, now emergency shutdown blacks out the screen very quickly (immediately!) in Tails 3.0~rc1.
