This looks to be a bug in plymouth terminal handling. Specifically it appears that seat->terminal may be null and we should avoid attempting to instantiate a text terminal on it in this case.
The attached patch gets us past this issue and up to lightdm. I am unsure if the splash is actually working correctly with it. I have applied this patch for testing and pushed updated binaries to the PPA below: https://launchpad.net/~apw/+archive/ubuntu/lp1371651 If anyone affected by this could install these and test to see if they resolve the issue. ** Attachment added: "PATCH" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1371651/+attachment/4215190/+files/PATCH -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371651 Title: Daily does not boot into graphical interface after installation To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1371651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
