For quite some time now, when I try to reboot (from kde) the shutdown gets stuck saying "a stop job is running for ...". I just hold the power button. Any ideas?
Do you have any mounted network drives?

No, nothing mounted on any network.
Is it consistently the same job? If so, what is the job so we can investigate to program.

I don't know how to find out what job it is. I'm pretty sure at this point you can't switch VTs, but next time it happens I'll try

FWIW, I have seen the same problem, and use the same solution. It is late in the shutdown process, so no other VTs are available to use for troubleshooting.

Whatever your problem, DON'T hold down the power button - eventually you will stuff your system.
If all else fails, use <CTRL>+<ALT>+<F2> to swap to a different virtual console and then login and type
shutdown -h now
This will force whatever is hanging to finish, and shut down your system cleanly

Highly unlikely. Systemd is still gonna wait because it is in charge of shutdown (and the odds are really good that by the time you are waiting on a stop job all the vterms have been shutdown and you won't be able to switch).

The power button is probably more drastic than necessary. Recent versions of systemd will (finally!) respond to holding down Ctrl-Alt-Del and stop waiting on the thing that will never finish and go on to run the rest of the shutdown (minor things like cleanly unmounting disks :-).
You could also see if any of the things on this web page help:

(though even with all that fanaticism, I still sometimes get stuck on a stop job on reboot).

Next time, before you attempt to reboot, issue the "jobs" command in a terminal window and it should tell you what job is stopped.

Humm..... Sadly, the jobs command will only list jobs which have been stopped/owned by the current shell. :-(

But, you can use "ps -aux" and find the process with a STAT of "T".

It's not about stopped jobs, it's about systemd trying to stop some process/service. This has unfortunately been a common issue. Usually it will time out after 1.5 minutes or maybe more, but it should eventually time out and finish the shutdown. Or try CTRL-ALT-DEL, that sometimes makes it continue as well.

Thanks. I must have mis-read and/or mis-understood what was being said....
Being that it is a "common issue" are you aware of any bugzilla open on this? I've not seen this sort of issue on any of my systems other than one which happens only when there was an NFS mount over a WiFi connection and that has been fixed about a year ago.

Just search bugzilla for "a stop job is running":
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1337526 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1307260
But they never fix it, they just wait till the release hits EOL and let bugzilla automatically close it:
