Hey there Mike, this is a known issue. If you can boot into recovery
mode, do so and then issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. If you
can't use recovery mode due to needing speech access, here is a work around.
1 boot the computer from a mem stick or usb drive
2. run gparted or equivalent to determine the partition of your ubuntu
system.
3. press alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal
4. at prompt, issue cd /mnt
5. Type sudo mkdir sysimage
6. type sudo mount /dev/your-ubuntu-partition /mnt/sysimage
For example, my command looks like: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sysimage
7. Type sudo chroot /mnt/sysimage
You should now be able to issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. I
hope this helps, let me know if you need any further help. You can
E-mail me off list if you need to. I really hope a fix is available
soon, or ditch plymouth for this release until this problem is fixed.
Later,
Guy

Hi, I installed the latest lucid live cd and had the following problem. The
first time I booted the system, Orca worked fine. The next time I booted the
system, I got the login message, and the system logs in. But there is no
speech, my cpu fan runs and the computer apears to be locked because no
commands work to shut it down.
Is this a known problem?
I tried to reboot several times and had the same results. One time I did
hear welcome to orca before the computer locked.
Mike.
