Please note that the alternative workaround posted in Known Issues and Solutions doesn’t seem to apply any longer.

See Notable Update Packages in the Stable Update 2025-03-30 announcment:

Plymouth 24.004.60 is a part of this update.

I dare say, the workaround to disable Plymouth might still apply if any users have difficulty with this new version.

Regards.


Welcome to the Manjaro community

As a new or infrequent forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements, and the many ways to use the forum to your benefit:


Update Announcements

The Update Announcements contain important information and a Known Issues and Solutions section that should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

System Information

Output of this command (formatted according to forum requirements) may be useful for those wishing to help:

inxi --filter --verbosity=8

or the short form:

inxi -zv8

Be prepared to provide more information and outputs from other commands whenever asked. It’s equally important to provide as much actionable information as possible in your first post, rather than simply indicating there is a problem.
