I've been investigating the plymouth part of this and what I have discovered is that plymouth is waiting on an event from lightdm on VT 7(tty7) to tell it to stop. However, with Xmir, as far as I can tell, nothing is happening onVT 7, so the event never occurs causing plymouth to spin out of control.
I wonder if there is some way to force Xmir to use VT 7 instead of a different VT???? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192051 Title: plymouthd spinning at 100% CPU after I log in To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1192051/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
