Package: plymouth Version: 24.004.60-5.2 Severity: important When I rebooted my machine after a kernel upgrade, the boot stopped until I typed something on the keyboard at 11:12 below (fortunately, I had a physical access to it, which is not always the case). This is the first time I had such an issue.
The journalctl output shows: [...] Aug 25 11:06:38 disset kernel: e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 enp0s31f6: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: Rx/Tx Aug 25 11:06:40 disset dhclient[1713]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp0s31f6 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset ifup[1713]: DHCPDISCOVER on enp0s31f6 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 4 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset dhclient[1713]: DHCPOFFER of 140.77.12.53 from 140.77.1.11 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset ifup[1713]: DHCPOFFER of 140.77.12.53 from 140.77.1.11 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset ifup[1713]: DHCPREQUEST for 140.77.12.53 on enp0s31f6 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset dhclient[1713]: DHCPREQUEST for 140.77.12.53 on enp0s31f6 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset dhclient[1713]: DHCPACK of 140.77.12.53 from 140.77.1.11 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset ifup[1713]: DHCPACK of 140.77.12.53 from 140.77.1.11 Aug 25 11:06:40 disset systemd[1]: Stopping systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization...
