Pi 3 / Retropie 4.6 and Dhcpcd shutdown trouble

pindapoe

Hello,

I´m trying to update my Pi 3 (already done it with Pi 4)
I installed Retropie 4.6, I updated the script to 4.6.1, but everytime I shutdown my Pi 3, I get the following message:
"A stop job is running for dhcpcd on all interfaces" and it delays the shutdown about two minutes, any idea how to avoid that?

Thanks

I tried a fresh install again, I updated Retropie script to 4.6.1, Emulationstation, to 2.9.3. Updated too Raspibian tools and Installed Kodi and Pixel desktop, and again the problem appears, seems like a bug, not sure.

Try using raspi-config and disable the 'wait for network on boot' option (see https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/45769/how-to-wait-for-networking-on-login-after-reboot).

Thanks, that fixed! :) Guess it was the Raspbian update I did.

Hope it's ok to reply here instead of creating a new topic about this...

I'm on RetroPie 4.7.1 on a RP3. I change this option as advised and I STILL have to wait 1 min 30 seconds to shutdown.

Been researching this for a couple hours actually and haven't found a fix... happened on two builds so far... (my RP4 has been fine for some reason).

@dochartaigh Please open a separate topic.

Will surely do next time, thank you (didn't know how this forum handles bumping topics for the same issue).

No need though. Spent these last ~2 hours researching and trying everything I could find... found the solution that worked for me: turns out it's somehow the PS3 controller driver causing this shutdown issue (so now both the PS3 and Xbox360 drivers cause issues lol - haven't been able to use xboxdrv for years now either unfortunately - glad the generic Xpad works great!).

Tried the fix on the 2nd effected RP3 (which I didn't try anything else on) and it fixed it first reboot as well.

Found it talked about here so I tried it on a whim after a dozen other 'fixes' not working – glad I did!

I can confirm the problem is still present in Retropie 4.8, is caused by the PS3 joystick driver and with Pi 3 only, the Pi 4 version, doesnt happen this. Thanks
