Autoreboot while update system (dup)

English Install/Boot/Login

hi!
new to OpenSuSE tumbleweed here.
I installed it on my laptop (Ryzen3, amd gpu, 12GbRam) and everything works fine but when I try to update the system (by sudo zypper dup command) system reebot suddenly, without asking And the system reboot gets stuck right before the operating system loads (the small spinning circle and the word “Tumbleweed” at the bottom).
I must hard reboot and then everything is ok.
This has happened after every update. I don’t think this is normal behavior, and in any case, it is extremely annoying.
How can I fix it?

thank you

Which version of plymouth are you using? With TW20241127 it has been reverted to plymouth-22.02.122+94.4bd41a3-12.1.x86_64 because of several (boot, update) issues. If this version is already installed, you could try the workaround decribed here: Update hung up on post trans update - #56 by MNeugebauer. Hope this helps.

thank you.
my plymouth version is exactly 22.02.122+94.4bd41a3-12.1.x86_64
I will try your workaround asap.

This happened with a second update for me as well, so I’ve taken the liberty of disabling Plymouth entirely with

sudo systemctl disable plymouth-start.service && sudo systemctl mask plymouth-start.service

This completely disables the boot splash, which is okay by me, and as far as I can tell hasn’t broken anything. I figure it’s worth it to avoid future instances of postinst scripts failing and breaking who knows what.
