Answer 1

According to Dewa Sembiring on askubuntu,

Go to tty mode using Ctrl+Alt+F2, if you can't, insert a live cd then get into chroot, try to reinstall your plymouth but before reinstalling the plymouth, try to reconfigure the plymouth first,

sudo dpkg-reconfigure plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u

if it doesn't work. then reinstall it,

sudo apt-get install --reinstall plymouth

Answer 2

What helps to me in a similar situation was to reinstall plymouth. I recommend doing it on recovery mode - on the grub bootloader screen select advanced options for elementary os and on the next screen choose the [recovery mode] option. Once there first select 'Configure network' in order to have a network connection and after this choose Root.

Once there type in the console

apt install --reinstall plymouth*

The * is necessary because you need to reinstall the plymouth-themes and other packages in order to fix the problem. Only plymouth doesn't worked for me.

Good luck
