Stuck at Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen
Posted: May 20th, '21, 13:59
Folks,
I'm having massive problems. I was trying to run kicad in Mageia 7 today and it was crashing every time I tried to launch the schematic editor, so I rebooted and got stuck at the Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen. Googling around suggested a graphics problem.
I've had nightmares before with video drivers and had to reinstall the OS so I have tried that. Thought I may as well use the opportunity to update to Mageia 8.
However, after install I am stuck in exactly the same place. It looks like the nokmsboot is already set.
Tried stuff here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13784
I have an nvidia card, which was working just fine. It's a relatively modern card. I've tried with noueveau, vesa and nvidea driver to no avail.
Not even using vesa driver will get me to boot. I'm trying to mount a USB stick and give you journalctl -xb and will post that when I can, but if anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful.
Edit: I cannot mount a USB stick with write permissions, I can't get a network connection so I am out of ideas of how to get the journal off the computer.
Edit 2: Tried reinstalling Mageia 8 using nouveau driver and now it's stuck at Open SSH sever daemon.
