You can enable the debug shell with: # systemctl enable debug-shell.service And then when the boot fails, switch to the debugging shell with CTRL+ALT+F9 and get the status of the system: # systemctl status systemd-logind.service # journalctl # systemctl list-jobs Do not forget to disable the debug-shell.service when/if your problem is solved or it will become a big security hole.
