Ok, it looks like what we have here is a blocking write from plymouthd to some client that has stopped listening. There's not enough information to tell us what client or why, but I think it's a bug that the plymouth server doesn't have a sensible timeout for writes.
If you have time to also track down what process is the client connection for this socket, we would certainly like to fix this end of the problem as well. > With all due respect, Steve, after all the instability problems > with cryptsetup in the last 2 years, I'm wondering if I'm > indeed the only user left ;-) Oh, there are definitely quite a few cryptsetup users around, and I've heard from many of them through the Lucid development cycle - and a lot of effort has gone into fixing their bugs for 10.04 LTS (and my own bugs, since I'm a cryptsetup user myself).
