Exactly, this is a log from the startup session of plymouth. > I'm not sure this output is relevant to the shutdown problem. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear why I think the problem is caused by a startup session of plymouth instead of shutdown one. I caught all changes of the kernel variable fg_console and all calls to the kernel function set_console(). I've got the following results: 1) plymouth switches the foreground console from 0th to 6th on a startup; 2) plymouth switches the foreground console from 6th to 0th some time after; 3) Xorg switches the foreground console from 0th to 6th remembering that the active console is 0th. 4) Xorg switches the foreground console from 6th to 0th on a shutdown since the 0th console was active when Xorg started. The strange thing here is that plymouth doesn't attempt to switch consoles on a shutdown. May it be a race between a plymouth startup and Xorg shutdown? It seems it is since the problem ceased to reproduce when I recreated the installation ISO with the installer kernel compiled manually from the source package shipped with Ubuntu 13.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1183212 Title: plymouth outputs the message "Please remove installation media..." into a wrong console when Ubuntu 13.04 installation is finished To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1183212/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
