No graphical login after snapshot 20160907

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hello,

since snapshot 20160907 the boot process ends with text console on tty1.
On tty7 I have only the boot messages.
Login on tty1 as root and executing init 5 start the GUI and I can log in KDE.
Before these snapshots the boot ended with the GUI login.
I didn’t change anything else than the snapshots installation via “zypper dup”
Kernel
Linux hpprol2 4.7.2-2-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 29 23:57:41 UTC 2016 (8a962cf) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Same problem occurs when I use XEN Kernel version or default version
I don’t see any error related in dmesg. only Baloo seems to segfault but I don’t use it
In the Boot.log the last messages are

Seems that Plymouth hangs or don’t terminate?
journalctl shows this ( end of the boot process)

If I go to yast to see the bootloader option and exit with OK I receive an error

Internal error: Please report a bug report with logs.
Details:Unknown udev device /dev/disk/by-label/msdos
Caller: /usr/share/YaSTé/lib/bootloader/udev_mapping.rb:33.in 'to_kernel_device'

I don’t have a Windows partition only Unix partitions (all EXT4) and swap

My graphic card is a Nvidia quadro 4000 with two monitors and I’m using nouveau as driver

Any Idea?
Many thanks in advance
Philippe

#2

As I already wrote in your other thread yesterday, please post the output of the following commands:

systemctl get-default
systemctl status display-manager

Regarding your suspicion that plymouth hangs, I’d suggest trying to disable plymouth as a test, by adding “plymouth.enable=0” to the boot options (press ‘e’ at the boot menu, and append that to the line starting with linux or linuxefi, then press F10 to boot).

I’ll try to boot with plymouth disabled

Your system is configured to boot to text mode.

Set the default boot target to “graphical.target” in YaST->System->Services Manager, or run:

sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
#5

Thanks,

It works now… i must have changed this accidentally when looking for the ntpd service problem.
