** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: plymouth
  
  Maverick pre-RC ISO testing.
  I got this error message on screen just before Desktop appears on the screen 
(after selecting Try Ubuntu in Ubiquity)
  
  I remember I see it very often in Lucid installed system too.
  
  Annoying because boot is not so smooth with this.
  
  SRU justification:
  This message is consistently emitted by plymouth whenever plymouth is 
included in the initramfs (either because it's needed by some other initramfs 
script such as cryptsetup or casper, or because the user has themself 
configured it to be included to provide a prettier boot experience.  While 
plymouth normally hides the message, it is sometimes exposed either because 
something has switched VT7 into text mode (e.g., during suspend/resume) or 
because of a bug in plymouth itself.  The former is aesthetic, but the latter 
results in many bugs filed about the message which is *not* related to their 
problems, making it difficult to triage plymouth bug reports.
  
  This can be addressed for the natty release by forward-copying the
  maverick-proposed SRU to natty.
  
  TEST CASE:
  1) run 'echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/plymouth' as root
  2) run 'update-initramfs -u' to regenerate the initramfs, with plymouth added
  3) reboot with the splash screen enabled
- 4) suspend/resume the system or otherwise reproduce the appearance of the 
warning message
+ 4) press escape as soon as the splash screen appears; confirm that you see 
the GLib warning
  5) install the plymouth package from -proposed
  6) reboot repeatedly, and use the same technique as in step 4, to confirm 
that the warning message no longer appears
