@Seth: Please join us over at bug #625239. I'd love to see one of your failing Xorg.0.logs and a plymouth-debug.log if you could manage it in order to compare them to those contributed by Jamie and Dino. In Dino's case we can see that gdm is trying to follow plymouth to plymouth's tty (which

@Jamie, Do you remember how you got the first log? Could the log you posted be from some time it hung? If it's complete it does look like plymouth crashed. For the crash situation does anything get recorded in the plymouth-debugging log? Maybe we should look in your /var/log/syslog from the time

It's a shame about the crash getting in our way, but oh well. I don't see anything in the log either, sad to say. the acpid messages at 10:00:17 are from an unrelated daemon that tells interested processes on your computer about closing the lid, etc., if I'm not mistaken. Could you recreate the

I don't have /etc/grub/default either. I do have /etc/default/grub. The file names are confusing. I see no reference to the former in update-grub or grub-mkconfig, but grub-mkconfig includes the contents of /etc/default/grub. Are you missing /etc/default/grub? I sometimes get nervous about grub,

Cool, Jamie. I'm glad you found a work-around, and I appreciate your kind offer to post the logs later. I'd like to see how they match up with dino's, both with regard to the messages dino saw in his plymouth log post, and with regard to the little dance gdm and plymouth do to keep on the same VT7

@Jamie: Since I'm only another member of the community it's completely possible that I won't be able to see this through to a fix. A glance from a plymouth or gdm developer may mean more progress than I could make in days. If it's ok with you, though, maybe we can move this towards a successful
