Description of problem: systemd does not finish the boot process. It seems plymouth-quit-wait.service is still waiting many minutes after boot started. If I manually stop plymouth-quit-wait.service, systemd finishes booting. # systemd-analyze Bootup is not yet finished.

Noticed something that may be of use to track down this bug. Today, when I booted the Mageia Cauldron for another round of updates and testing, due to not having the nvidia binary driver available for the most recent kernel, Xorg started using the nouveau driver and "systemctl status" showed "State: running / Jobs: 0 queued / Failed: 0 units" without me having to stop the plymouth-quit-wait.service manually. After I installed dkms-nvidia340, reconfigured the system to use it and rebooted, the system again showed this bug. This is a test system (not production) so I can do testing to help debug this issue. # rpm -qa | grep -E 'dkms|nvidia|4\.6\.2' | sort cpupower-4.6.2-1.mga6 dkms-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-minimal-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-nvidia340-340.96-37.mga6.nonfree kernel-desktop-4.6.2-1.mga6-1-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-devel-4.6.2-1.mga6-1-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-devel-latest-4.6.2-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-latest-4.6.2-1.mga6 kernel-userspace-headers-4.6.2-1.mga6 vboxadditions-kernel-4.6.2-desktop-1.mga6-5.0.22-1.mga6 x11-driver-video-nvidia340-340.96-37.mga6.nonfree # uname -a Linux marte 4.6.2-desktop-1.mga6 #1 SMP Fri Jun 10 08:32:33 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/root_cauldron/boot/vmlinuz-desktop root=/dev/mapper/Mageia5-btrfs ro rootflags=subvol=root_cauldron nokmsboot splash
This bug is still valid, with all packages up-to-date. This bug occurs when using the nvidia driver but does NOT occur when using the nouveau driver. # rpm -qa | grep -E 'dkms|nvidia|4\.7\.0' | sort cpupower-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6 dkms-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-minimal-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-nvidia340-340.96-37.mga6.nonfree javapackages-tools-4.7.0-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6-1-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-devel-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6-1-1.mga6 kernel-desktop-devel-latest-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6 kernel-desktop-latest-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6 kernel-userspace-headers-4.7.0-0.rc7.1.mga6 python3-javapackages-4.7.0-1.mga6 vboxadditions-kernel-4.7.0-desktop-0.rc7.1.mga6-5.0.24-6.mga6 x11-driver-video-nvidia340-340.96-37.mga6.nonfree
Video driver problem, not a systemd problem.

Just updated the system and am rechecking the bugs. Well, where ever the problem was, it seems this bug is resolved. I'm marking this bug a resolved/fixed. $ systemd-analyze Startup finished in 19.027s (kernel) + 49.843s (userspace) = 1min 8.870s $ systemctl status | head -n 5 station4 State: running Jobs: 0 queued Failed: 0 units Since: Qua 2016-08-03 19:07:24 WEST; 10min ago $ uname -a Linux marte 4.7.0-desktop-2.mga6 #1 SMP Sat Jul 30 21:54:30 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ rpm -qa | grep -Ei 'systemd|nvidia|dkms' | sort dkms-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-minimal-2.0.19-37.mga6 dkms-nvidia340-340.96-38.mga6.nonfree dkms-virtualbox-5.1.2-1.mga6 lib64systemd0-230-3.mga6 libsystemd0-230-3.mga6 systemd-230-3.mga6 systemd-devel-230-3.mga6 systemd-units-230-3.mga6 x11-driver-video-nvidia340-340.96-38.mga6.nonfree
