Ok that's what I figured Ive narrowed it down to Plymouth but I haven't found much info on what the fix is. As of now I can ctl alt f2 and run startx to get to a desktop. When I try to run gui (such as keepnote or chromium) from within my vms now tho I get errors.

greetings all. running centos 7. i recently performed an upgrade and the server rebooted later in the night. now everytime i start my server its sits at the grey gnome background. i can hit ctl+atl+f2 to get to another console and the error message states "a start job is running for wait for plymouth boot screen to quit". i can ssh into the server but i dont see any obvious issues. this is the brain of my network and houses all my vms and documents. any help would be greatly appreciated.
There's lots of reasons for this - try googling for that message.
A common one is bad video drivers, especially nVidia - nVidia helpfully stop supporting certain older cards in the newer drivers, so if you have a card that drops support in the most recent driver, you have to specifically use an old driver version.
But basically anything that holds up the boot process will eventually cause this message - it's not really an error message either, it's just telling you that it's waiting for something to happen - the problem is elsewhere.
