[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed fails to load after GRUB
I have tried this several times from a fresh install (Tumbleweed ISO) and after upgrading from Leap. In both cases, I have an encrypted LVM volume that contains system-root, system-home and swap. The machine boots correctly to GRUB but gets stuck at what seems to be plymouth (I think? - it's the loader showing the Tumbleweed background). Usually at this stage I would get a prompt for my password to decrypt the drive but that simply never shows up. I noticed that for a split second I get the error message "sed_opal:OPAL: Error on step function 0 with error 16386: Unknown Error". If I wait long enough I get put into a prompt starting with `dracut/` which seems to be some form of shell. If I install from with a non-encrypted setup, Tumbleweed installs and loads up correctly. Also, installing Leap (with and without an encrypted setup) works fine so it seems to be a Tumbleweed issue with an ecrypted setup. My laptop is a Dell XPS 13 (2016). Any help or pointers for how I can debug the issue would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

That sounds like the bug I have since months: Press Ctlr+Alt+F7 to switch to the correct virtual terminal to get the password prompt. See: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020283 Perhaps you may want to leave a comment there. Cheers, Robby. -- On Freitag, 23. Juni 2017 10:58:10 CEST Michael Aquilina wrote:

I don't think it's this issue unfurtunately, but I do have this issue
on my other laptop.
I'm pretty certain I attempted ctrl+alt+f7 when I saw this. I feel
like this might be something more sinister

then try to boot adding nosplash plymouth.enabled=0 it normally will allow you to boot in text mode, and then certainly have to passphrase dialog box to unlock your encrypted things. At least it is working here at 100%. Long time ago I've removed all plymouth related packages, it was causing too much trouble on my Dell Precision M7510 (hidpi). the dracut shell you see, appear after the timeout of passphrase prompt. so it is quite normal. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch Bareos Partner, openSUSE Member, fsfe fellowship GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

then try to boot adding nosplash plymouth.enabled=0 . *splash* is inert: https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2017-06/msg00640.html
It used to be an option. Now it's nothing. IOW, splash not is default, so try plymouth.enabled=0 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
