My problem is the following: After my last update (pacman -Syu) my system hangs on boot, and I can't figure out the cause (it's driving me crazy, really) Searching on the web I found out that this could be caused by a bad fstab file, but this doesn't appear to be the case.The distro I'm using is Manjaro linux (it is based on Arch) and my Systemd version is 231This is what journalctl -xb had to say about itOct 04 11:45:02 manjarobox systemd[350]: rescue.service: Faied at step EXEC spawning /bin/plymouth: No such file or directory-Subject: Process /bin/plymouth could not be executed-Defined-by: systemd-Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel--The process /bin/plymouth could not be executed and failed--The error number returned by this process is 2This is the output of ls -l /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wantstotal 0lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 Dec 22  2015 cronie.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/cronie.servicelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 42 Dec 27  2015 lm_sensors.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/lm_sensors.servicelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Dec 22  2015 ModemManager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/ModemManager.servicelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 46 Dec 22  2015 NetworkManager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.servicelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Dec 22  2015 remote-fs.target -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/remote-fs.targetlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Dec 22  2015 tlp.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/tlp.servicelrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 13  2016 ufw.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/ufw.serviceAnd my /etc/fstab file looks like this:# /etc/fstab: static file system information## <file system> <dir>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass># DEVICE DETAILS: /dev/sda1 UUID=c52d9ae9-48a8-487c-931b-77deedf8e242 LABEL=DskA_Linux# DEVICE DETAILS: /dev/sda5 UUID=170E967E185647C6 LABEL=DskD_Files# DEVICE DETAILS: /dev/sda6 UUID=eeaa09fa-4ace-4e5a-8fef-170a18e41940 LABEL=DskE_SwapUUID=c52d9ae9-48a8-487c-931b-77deedf8e242 / ext4 defaults 0 1#UUID=170E967E185647C6 /mnt/Files ntfs-3g defaults 0 1#UUID=eeaa09fa-4ace-4e5a-8fef-170a18e41940 swap swap defaults 0 0Also, I have never installed plymouth, nor do I intend to, if I can help it.What can I do to solve this? :SThanks in advance
plymouth causes system to hang on boot
boot;systemd;manjaro;plymouth;systemd boot
It's been a while, and there are many causes for a this problem it seems (fstab misconfiguration, orphan config files, etc), but for me using 'grep -r plymouth /' and then deleting the statements calling plymouth solved it
