Too long shutdown (A stop job is running...) Manjaro Gnome - need further assistance

Hello everybody,
I am pretty new to Manjaro and working in Terminal, so I hope I can find some more assistance, as the related posts do not help me…

The issue is a very long shutdown time, and pressing Fx during shutdown shows the line "a stop job is running for user uid 1000 with countdown over 1m - the problem occured right after a new installation of Manjaro 20.2 Gnome…

I found something in the journal:

What exacly do I have to do to fix this? I use the same version of Manjaro Gnome on another computer where the problem does not occur… Switching the kernel did not help.

Thank you very much in advance…

See last stable announcement:

Thank you very much.
Fortunately, the big update yesterday just solved the problem, shutdown immediately, absolutely no delay, as I am used to with Manjaro. Wonderful.
Have a nice day :slight_smile: Natalie
