Public bug reported: I noticed that even after login the process plymouthd is still running consuming approx 5% CPU.
Running ps -ef | grep plymouth shows: root 359 1 4 23:29 ? 00:00:16 @sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid --attach-to-session root 679 1 0 23:30 ? 00:00:00 /bin/plymouth --wait What is supposed to tell plymouth to stop when X starts?
