Bug Description

I upgraded from 14.04 to 14.10 recently. My laptop does not shut down properly anymore. It used to take only 5 sec to shutdown in 14.04. But now it needs ca. 5 min to shut down after sleep. If it never slept, then shut down process is normal. The message on the shut down screen has something to do with ModemManager:

ModemManager: ModemManager is shut down

ModemManager: Could not acquire the 'org.freedesktop.ModemManager1' service name

it stays like that for ca. 5 min before it suddenly shuts down.

I added stop on runlevel [06] to the network-manager.conf file. It did not help.
I used shutdown -h now. It did not help.

I have the shutdown time improved by editing both /etc/init/modemmanager.conf and /etc/init/network-manager.conf via adding a line to them:

kill timeout 1

Ditch ModemManager "solves" the problem. But I would say it is not a proper solution.
