I have the fixed plymouth version installed, but it don't fixes the bug for me.
dpkg -s plymouth > Version: 0.8.2-2ubuntu5.1 I have the same error message during boot-process (reported in duplicate of this bug - #620918). After the error message the system stops to work. The system comes up, if I boot without an external HDMI monitor connected. Besides this I'm able to boot with the external monitor if I do the following: - Press "E" in GRUB startup page - Delete "quiet splash" and add option "noplymouth" at the end of the line - Boot with that option, pressing "Strg+X" @Lorenzo: Please test the steps above. If you can boot into the system perform a complete software update. You should then have the fixed plymouth package 0.8.2-2ubuntu5.1. Are you able to boot without the steps above afterwards? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/649917 Title: GLIb-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
