Title: Error: failed to start show plymouth boot screen
Post by: Lukkasyuki on November 11, 2021, 12:22:32 PM

I'm new to using linux and I wanted to install Linux Lite on a Older Pc to make it more useful for my studies. Anyway, I'm facing this error message along with the screen flickering. The error message is spammed on screen.
I couldn't find any definitive solution online so I came here looking for help.

Have you made ANY changes since you first installed LL?

What kind of change you're talking about besides installing some applications?

Installing applications = change, I mean anything at all as far an action you took that changed the system from what it was. You could also revert back to a previous version using Timeshift, provided you followed that advice from the initial Welcome screen.
