Thanks Daniel. I have also discovered that plymouthd is crashing sometime during boot/log in (not sure exactly when). I built a version of plymouth with symbols and have a stack trace that shows that it's falling over at on_deactivate w/ a segfault. So I think when plymouthd crashes, a new plymouthd is spawned, but the deactivate from lightdm has already occurred, so plymouthd just spins waiting on a deactivate to occur.
Since I have a good stack trace, I think trying to figure out why it's segfaulting is possible. Also, as you point out, perhaps putting in some robustness for EIO may be helpful as well. -- 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
