I had a shutdown attempt of the computer this afternoon where it didn't shut down, and hung on the shutdown with the line after the localhost login displayed and remained displayed so I could write it down. Here is what I saw: localhost login: [ 9211, 806671] [ T1] reboot; Power down On Tue, Oct 10, 2023 at 3:45 AM Mark Misulich <munguanaweza@gmail.com> wrote:
I've added the plymouth.enable=0 parameter to the kernel line, and the plymouth is gone now. Most times the computer shuts down without a problem, but even without the plymouth it occasionally still fails to shutdown. The last line in the shutdown is "localhost login" and in failure to shutdown that's where the computer hangs. When it shuts down normally, after a few seconds a word appears to the right of 'localhost login' followed by numbers faster than I can read it, then quickly shuts down in a split second.

After almost two months of normal shutdowns, the shutdown problem is back. I read David's post above, and also found this forum thread that resolved the problem the same way:
https://forums.opensuse.org/t/disable-plymouth/137775
I went through step one of the thread by disabling chrony-wait with this command with bash as root:
systemctl disable chrony-wait.service
But it didn't resolve the issue, the computer still hangs on shutdown.
I'm unsure as to how to do the next step to pass the kernel parameter
'plymouth.enable=0"
Where do I insert that? Please forgive my lack of knowledge on this point, and provide me with a bit of further instruction.
add it to the kernel line: yast bootloader
