The kde-plasma/breeze-plymouth-5.18.5 theme no longer works with sys-boot/plymouth-0.95-r1 (required for sys-apps/systemd-2.45.5). It causes the system to hang at boot showing a splash screen, but the system is completely frozen and does not respond to any keyboard commands. I've tried re-emerging de-plasma/ breeze-plymouth-5.18.5, but it didn't resolve the issue. Switching to another theme (bgrt) did resolve the issue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade to sys-apps/systemd-2.45.5 and reboot 2. Upgrade to sys-boot/plymouth-0.95-r1 with kde-plasma/ breeze-plymouth-5.18.5 installed and reboot 3. Re-emerge kde-plasma/ breeze-plymouth-5.18.5 with sys-boot/plymouth-0.95-r1 installed. Actual Results: A system that freezes / hangs at the boot splash screen. Expected Results: A booting system. A workaround can be performed by using a different theme. P.S.: A separate bug report as requested in https://bugs.gentoo.org/734762.
It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. Perhaps we can narrow the source together. Please provide also logs and emerge --info. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.
