Does anyone know what to do when Plymouth won’t boot? Seems to be stuck. Here are pictures. If someone could help that’s be wonderful!
You have provided very little useful information. Posting images means your post can’t be found by others with similar issues, so it is worth finding ways to post searchable text.
The first image looks like what I see with the second boot after booting from Gnome Software for updates. I’m guessing the second image could be a 3rd reboot initiated manually before the akmods job was complete.
I have an old iMac that builds drivers using akmods for the GPU and Wifi after rebooting the second time when installing updates. It can take 5 minutes to finish the builds. You can find more details as text by running journalctl -b <N>, where <N> is the number for the boot that was running the akmods service.
We won’t be able to help with more information:
- Do you have network access? It seems the onboard WiFi doesn’t work with the latest kernel. If you don’t have wired internet access, you may need to use a USB WiFi dongle, boot with an older kernel, boot the rescue kernel, or boot a Live USB (in which case you will need 'dnf install inxi`).
- Please provide the output from running
inxi -Fzxxin a terminal (post as pre-formatted text (use the</>button from the top of the text entry panel). This will tell use the Fedora kernel version and can help us understand what hardware needs akmods and which drivers are being used. - Please mention whether the system boots any other OS’s (there can be clashes between firmware versions used by Fedora and other OS’s).
- Please insure that you have the current vendor firmware so we aren’t chasing a solved problem. This also makes it easier for others to duplicate your configuration. In a terminal, run
sudo fwupdtool get-updatesto get a list of available updates.
