No, plymouth is the process that controls the booting process. It is not the problem. It is doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing - waiting for a process to finish before going on to its next task. You should use journalctl to see what task it is waiting on.

What graphics card do you have?

What errors.
Please stop top posting.
It really sounds like a graphics driver error. Have you looked in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
sorry about that first time publicly posting like this. I will check this evening. I did remove the x0rg drivers and plymouth but didnt check the logs as it got late.
Reading the thread in this post, I see you saying that startx works.... That would suggest that graphics works, but something in trying to go into runlevel 5 is funny.
Stupid question: how long have you waited? C7 seems to take an unconsciously long time for the X login to come up.
Do you see the screen go into graphical mode during the boot? You know, when it'll go black, then smaller fonts, and more lines on the screen?
Starting to wonder about a timing issue, with a driver not loading.
This sounds like some kind of GDM issue to me.
I am not sure the OP has ever answered the question of what video card is installed.
OP: If you look at Xorg.0.log that should tell you if there is a problem starting X. If you use /var/log/messages, dmseg, and/or journalctl it might give you an init type error output.

thanks, looking thru the log i attached i did notice the gdm error. As a workaround i installed/switched over to lightdm. still going to figure out what went wrong with gdm.
