Have you tried yet disabling plymouth on boot, or uninstall it (needs mkinitrd to apply)?
rpm -qa | grep plymouth
plymouth-scripts-0.8.8_git201309032142-2.5.1.x86_64 plymouth-plugin-label-0.8.8_git201309032142-2.5.1.x86_64 plymouth-branding-openSUSE-13.1-10.4.13.noarch plymouth-plugin-script-0.8.8_git201309032142-2.5.1.x86_64 plymouth-0.8.8_git201309032142-2.5.1.x86_64 Oh, I wasn't aware I was running it! So how do I DISABLE it? I've tried editing the command line at boot, removing the splash=silent quiet Yes I see all the boot time messages scrolling by too fast to read And no the end result isn't stable and consistent. Sometimes the login following is at different parts of the screen, meaning that there were more or fewer messages scrolling, or that some 'clear' occurred or something. Sometimes its the size font I expect, sometimes its been the small font. On one occasion the login prompt was displayed but the vt was unresponsive. I can't claim that the hardware is failing, the CPU failing, the graphics system failing, because I'm encountering no problems with the X11/KDE side or the command line operations even when su'd to root in a kterminal window. My experience has been that as graphics go, X11 is picky! Its the inconsistency that puzzles me. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
