system logs
I used plymouth:debug kernel line to boot. I had dual monitor setup and didn't cancel the graphical boot, so it stuck with black screen. These are the logs from that attempt. I don't see any errors.
I have downgraded plymouth to: plymouth-plugin-label-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-scripts-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-theme-charge-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-core-libs-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-utils-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-system-theme-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-graphics-libs-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-gdm-hooks-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 plymouth-plugin-two-step-0.8.0-0.20100305.1.fc13.x86_64 The problem is still present, it is not caused by recent plymouth update. Maybe it's caused by some other component? How to find out? According to halfline, this big could be resolved by updating gdm: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13,plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13?_csrf_token=5039bb596b3e193f24d8245b3e1f87bb41d3ad8d I will try that and report back. gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13 fixes this issue. Now we just need to push it to updates-testing. (In reply to comment #4) > gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13 fixes this issue. Now we just need to push it to > updates-testing. Bingo, works for me. Should this be in MODIFIED? gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13,plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13,plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13 *** Bug 577504 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13,plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13 package worked for me! Installed it from Koji and the problem is gone! Thanks... does oxf13 know to pull this into rc2? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #10) > does oxf13 know to pull this into rc2? Initially, I'm content to keep these in updates-testing. However, the updates have since received critpath approval from rel-eng and qa. So technically they could be pulled into RC2, do we want them? I can pull them into an RC2 I'm going to prepare tonight. it's a beta blocker, so yes, we want them. boot failing with plymouth enabled is not a good thing. :) -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers plymouth-0.8.1-1.fc13, gdm-2.29.92-6.fc13 has been pushed to the Fedora 13 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. Adam, note boot was never failing for the beta. This problem was entirely isolated to users who had plymouth in updates-testing without gdm in updates-testing *** Bug 579450 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This bug has come back from the dead because an older gdm package mistakenly got into the f13 repos: 2.29.92-5.fc13 came back. We've identified the cause of this and it should be fixed tomorrow, 2.29.92-6.fc13 should return then. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers *** Bug 581887 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I am having this exact issue all over again. The GDM transition is hanging, allowing the mouse image to be seen, but on a black background and no prompts are displayed. This time around I can switch to another terminal (writing this from Lynx on tty3, actually). System is fully updated and has been working fine since install (a few days). Came out of the blue. This bug seems to have returned again. Identical symptoms to those listed above. Everything updated to latest and was working fine. Selected an earlier kernel version (147) vs latest (56) and it did not re-occur. Tried again with latest kernel and problem re-occurred. if changing the kernel fixes it, it's not the same as this bug, it's a problem with the part of the graphics driver that lives in the kernel. Please file a new bug against xorg-x11-drv-intel , xorg-x11-drv-ati or xorg-x11-drv-nouveau (depending on your graphics adapter).
