[Joe Jackman]

I basically copy pasted a reddit post and the image but i have exactly the same issue except i can get into the terminal.. guys i am literally 3 days new to linux and cant follow up that. i have a live Cd for POP os and my boot options are ok aswell. SVM is on(idk this was the last thing i did and ran a VM for andriod using QEMU.

That's not what a hang is.

 

Anyway plymouth is just the software that hides boot information with pretty graphics so it's not essential for your system to function. If you can't see the login manager and get dropped to TTY then I suspect your gpu driver is crashing. What GPU do you have? Did you update the system before this happened?

Try reverting to an older driver version. Also again, what gpu do you have?

go in /var/apt/cache, it should contain every .deb package you installed (including current and older versions of the gpu driver). Find the nvidia driver package (not sure what it's called on pop) and install the version before the current one like so:

sudo dpkg -i <package name>.deb

then reboot.
