[Solved] Plymouth boot screen to quit.

[way12go]

I get "Plymouth boot screen to quit" during shutdown and restart and it takes a minute or two. Is this normal.

I found the solution...

First of all, I see that plymouth-quit-wait.service is still runing during boot,

so please execute (as root)

:

systemctl mask plymouth-quit-wait.service (this will disable this service).

More to that, according to your question do (all commands as root):

    If you don't need dynamic firewall:

systemctl disable firewalld.service

If you don't use lvm (check this by (as root) lvs, and post result here):

systemctl disable lvm2-monitor.service

and

systemctl disable lvm2-lvmetad.service

systemctl disable avahi-daemon.service

systemctl disable dmraid-activation.service

systemctl disable livesys-late.service

systemctl disable livesys.service

systemctl disable sendmail.service

systemctl disable sm-client.service

If you don't need to connect (as a cient) to NFS server or NIS server, then disable:

systemctl disable rpcbind.service

If you don't need Bluetooth:

systemctl disable bluetooth.service

If you don't need time synchronization:

systemctl disable chronyd.service

If you don't need Plymouth (this graphic-animation boot)

systemctl disable plymouth-read-write.service

and

systemctl disable plymouth-start.service

If for some reasons, after reboot you still see any of disabled by you service in systemd-analyze blame, then redo command, but replace disable with mask, eg: systemctl disable rpcbind.service doesn't work, rpcbind is still running, then: systemctl mask rpcbind.service.

Again, all command execute as root (or at least by sudo).

After you done, and none of this service is running again, update your question with results from; systemd-analyze; systemd-analyze blame

 Debian Wheezy boot splash screens
Grub wallpaper and resolution can be changed by editing
  /etc/default/grub
and running:
update-grub

The boot splash screen can be enabled by editing
  /etc/default/grub
and adding "splash" to the Grub command line:
  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
and running:
  update-grub

The splash will not appear unless a splash package is installed.
The only package available in standard repositories is plymouth:
  apt-get install plymouth-x11

Other external packages:
Bootsplash - original kernel space implementation
Usplash - designed to replace Bootsplash, implemented in User space
Xsplash - used in Ubuntu Karmic to take over from Usplash
Plymouth - designed to replace Usplash+Xsplash
Splashy - a Debian project, last updated in 2008, implements splash using framebuffers in user space, not  compatible with startup system in Wheezy.
Fbsplash - a Gentoo splash implementation, not available for Debian


Once installed, the plymouth splash theme is updated using:
  plymouth-set-default-theme

*When plymouth is removed, it still leaves the theme embedded in initrd.  To complete the removal of plymouth boot splash, update the initrd image:
  update-initramfs

**Wheezy contains a package called "startupmanager" which is described as providing an easy to use interface to update some settings for grub & splash screens - but it does not give correct resolutions and only  has a tick-box to enable or disable splash screen.  startupmanager corrupts /etc/grub.d/00_header by hard-coding a resolution that will prevent GRUB_GFXMODE from working in /etc/default/grub.

***Screen corruption occurs if using Slim display manager when Plymouth is installed.
