It appears this is not a plymouth bug. Some other part of the system is failing to start:
A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (3min 7s / no limit) I experienced a similar issue myself recently... In my case it was /etc/fstab trying to mount a device that no longer existed. But this bug might be different. ** Summary changed: - Freeze at splash screen + [i915 Penryn] Freeze at splash screen ** Package changed: plymouth (Ubuntu) => ubuntu ** Summary changed: - [i915 Penryn] Freeze at splash screen + Ubuntu never finishes booting: A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (3min 7s / no limit) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1871641 Title: Ubuntu never finishes booting: A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (3min 7s / no limit) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1871641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
