Package: plymouth Version: 0.7.2-4 Severity: normal Hi, I'm getting the same error message, but I don't know if the cause is the same. The problem seems to be a NULL pointer dereference in plymouthd's text plugin. What I did was to start plymouthd by hand with /sbin/plymouthd --mode=shutdown, then attach gdb to the plymouthd process and run plymouth --show-splash; then, it segfaulted. There is a backtrace in the attachment, though it's probably useless due to missing debugging information.
