Leap 15.4 hangs on Terminate Plymouth boot screen
After updating from 15.3 to 15.4 with "zypper dup", I can boot into runlevel 1 and run startx. Runlevels 2, 3, and the default (multi-user GUI) hang at the message in the title. Adding plymouth.enable at the end of the linux line in grub changes nothing. Any ideas or resources to debug? This is a Lenovo T520. TIA, Jeffrey

Does anything happen if you strike ENTER at the hang, or ESC right after the Grub menu disappears? Try instead appending plymouth=0 with removing quiet & splash=silent. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Better make it "splash=verbose" -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.4 (Legolas))

Because we want all messages printed, because we have an error and want to see it. Being passed to userspace doesn't mean it doesn't work, as I am getting all the messages. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.4 (Legolas))

Just as you would with no splash= at all, and I get with no splash= at all, in Leap and TW (and Fedora, Mageia, Debian, Ubuntu & Mint), because it is inert and innocuous and useless and ignored, because verbose is the kernel's default behavior. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Found the problem. Unplugging the Lenovo USB mini-dock from my Lenovo T520 allows booting into runlevel 3. Debugging and/or filing a bug report will wait until I get caught up from 4-5 days without the laptop. Thanks to all for the help, Jeffrey
