Re: [CentOS] gnome boot problem
yessir i can alt+ctl+f2 into another tty and run startx from there to get into my desktop as of this morning the "plymouth wait" error was running for about 6 hours whatever is causing it to hang never completes the screen does go into graphical mode..i unlock my volume and then the grey background with the 7 and spinning white circle comes up...the circle spins out and then the screen just sits there it never boots into the actual desktop. this happened about a month ago i ran a kernel update, then clean up. i went to sleep and my server shut off. I turned it back on and have been experiencing this issue ever since. I removed plymouth and then logged into the 2nd tty and just left it running for about a month since its my host and i had alot of stuff on there i needed to access. i have a little downtime for the next few days so im trying to go back and get this figured out.

Re: [CentOS] gnome boot problem
Ok so I tried alt+d it switched over to text mode. I didn't see any error it booted right to a black screen. I can ctl+alt+f2 to get to another screen and I still get the "a start job is running for wait for Plymouth boot screen to quit" On Thu, Nov 16, 2017, 5:55 PM Gordon Messmer wrote: > On 11/16/2017 02:01 PM, dominic adair-jones wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 16, 2017, 4:55 PM Gordon Messmer > > wrote: > >> Alt+d will switch to the text output of the init process.

Re: [CentOS] gnome boot problem
Ok that's what I figured Ive narrowed it down to Plymouth but I haven't found much info on what the fix is. As of now I can ctl alt f2 and run startx to get to a desktop. When I try to run gui (such as keepnote or chromium) from within my vms now tho I get errors.

Re: [CentOS] gnome boot problem
Not understanding. At what point in the boot process should I be doing that and why would I need to do that at all? Seems like it's something wrong with the Plymouth and plymouth-scirpt packagesI uninstalled them and rebooted I didn't get stuck in a loop but I didn't have a gui. I reinstalled and I'm back at the Plymouth wait error.

Re: [CentOS] last update yum and kernel Problem
I had a similar issue. On one of my vms. My host rebooted while the vm was running its update. I had to remove the kernel then reinstall and it corrected the issue.
