I did an experiment. I renamed the plymouth-splash.conf file in the
/etc/init folder to *.disabled and then re-started without plymouth. It
worked!
This problem is affecting plymouth and not X.
** Also affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Pressing enter key kills X
+ Pressing Enter crashes both X and plymouth in graphical mode
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: xorg
After the system boots and the plymouth screen disappears and X starts
up, if I press the enter key (occurs only with the enter key) X shuts
down and starts again in around 2 seconds. In the session of X that
comes up after this, the problem doesn't occur.
+
+ UPDATE: Problem seems to be affecting plymouth and is a lot similar to
+ bug #532047, however in this case GRAPHICAL plugin is affected. The
+ workaround on that bug works, and pressing enter crashes both X and
+ Plymouth, forcing X to start on tty8 .
