Yesterday I upgrade my virtual machine via zypper dup to current opensuse snapshot. After dup system works fine. Problem happen when I reboot. Then system stuck during boot. Few notable things I see * plymouth boot failed with see systemctl ... * xdm start succeed but nothing shown * I get no console where I can login ( even if systemd start all services except failed plymouth), how can I login to obtain some logs or see what and why failed?
after 11 minutes multiple lines of segfault in mandb start occuring with lines mandb[<pid>]: segfault at 7fffd708c000 ip 00007fc543de5a6b sp 00007fffd7089fe8 error 4 in libc-2.17.so[7fc543d5e000+1a3000]
If I boot with 3 to just console with X it stuck same way ( just no xdm of course ). In this case mandb do not print segfaults.
Any ideas how can I proceed at least to console login and to start debugging it?
noplymouth on cmdline?
splash=0 or splash=verbose on cmdline?
Actually problem is not in plymouth, as now it boot even if plymouth failed.
After more digging I found that old '3' at the end of line doesn't help and need to use systemd specific options - http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Systemd#Boot_Kernel_Command_Line
I did a fresh snapshot install a few days ago, updated to current 12.3 3 days ago, and I have no problem with 3 on cmdline doing as expected, though I have no bootsplash or plymouth obfuscating the boot process.
Problem was when I play with resolution for my kvm guess and have wrong X11.conf.
Wrong exactly what? What does Xorg.0.log report?
My fault in xorg.conf with bad linkage.
What is annoying is that systemd in this case doesn't provide common CMD line or at least at the end help in console how you must start it to get into command line.
I don't understand this question, but my ttys all work as expected except for https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=768788
when xdm start failed I expect to get boot on tty, but it doesn't happen and show last lines but without any login. Josef -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
