This bug affects me on real hardware with non-GUI x86_64 server Ubuntu upgraded recently from Maverick to Natty Plymouth ping just hangs, epolling for file handle 3 which lsof shows as :
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME plymouth 1449 root 3u 0000 0,9 0 5392 anon_inode I can't understand what this means. On boot, these plymouth-related processes are started : /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session plymouth-upstart-bridge Fortunately, sshd is also started on boot, and I can access the system remotely. Now checking if linking `which plymouth` to `which true` is of any help. This is clearly a plymouth bug. Dislike this useless stuff very much . ** Package changed: console-setup (Ubuntu) => plymouth (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/564360 Title: Boot scripts hang in plymouth --ping (was : console-setup installation hangs) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
