about a Plymouth failure). If I log in (cli) and then start X it works.
- If I use lightdm there is no problem (except the less friendly greeter).
better check and share the relevant output from the log files (tdm.log,
Xorg.0.log)
From all this, I have concluded that the problem is
linked to the use of
Trinity's login screen. While I can live with lightdm, does anyone
understand what the problem with plymouth is, and/or if it's possible to
get TDM's greeter without plymouth? I seem to remember a time where
plymouth had to be installed only for some versions of the greeter - maybe
I'm wrong.
actually plymouth does not have anything to do with tdm. So you can remove
plymouth without impacting tdm.
Some time ago there were issues when plymouth did not finish starting
properly and tdm (and other services) are waiting for it to finish.
Hard to say what is exactly going on in your case. I booted with plymouth
and tdm yesterday without issue.
