greetings all. running centos 7. i recently performed an upgrade and
the server rebooted later in the night. now everytime i start my
server its sits at the grey gnome background. i can hit ctl+atl+f2 to
get to another console and the error message states "a start job is
running for wait for plymouth boot screen to quit". i can ssh into the
server but i dont see any obvious issues. this is the brain of my
network and houses all my vms and documents. any help would be greatly
appreciated.
There's lots of reasons for this - try googling for that message.
A common one is bad video drivers, especially nVidia - nVidia helpfully
stop supporting certain older cards in the newer drivers, so if you
have a card that drops support in the most recent driver, you have to
specifically use an old driver version.
...and if you use the nvidia driver packages from elrepo, the
yum-plugin-nvidia package prevents yum from updating nvidia drivers on
older hardware where support for that hardware has been dropped.
