This also affects me. I marked my own bug report (Bug #1594204) as a duplicate this.
I've already done an install --reinstall, as "axel" was afraid to do, and that does not affect the error in any way. Also, the files that that script is looking for-- are confirmed to be physically on my system. Background on me? Check my memberships. I am somewhat modest, but am used to tracking problems down and coming up with work-arounds. Error Message on mine is: /scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line 38: /sbin/plymouthd: not found /scripts/init-premount/plymouth: line 38: /bin/plymouth: not found /dev/sda3: clean 605474/22757376 files, 66338383/91016257 blocks /scripts/init-bottom/plymouth: line 18/bin/plymouth: not found My results of: $ ls /sbin/plymouthd && ls /bin/plymouth /sbin/plymouthd /bin/plymouth ...which confirms that those files are there. ## Specific errors are from ## # script codeblock from usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init- premount/plymouth staring at line 33 is: if [ "${SPLASH}" = "true" ] then mkdir -m 0755 /run/plymouth /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid /bin/plymouth --show-splash fi # script line from usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init- bottom/plymouth line 18 is: /bin/plymouth --newroot=${rootmnt} ## End Code ## My results of: $ sudo ls -l /run/plymouth total 0 So it is creating the /run/plymouth, but is empty (no pid file) I am running the animated ubuntu-sunrise theme... the affects the boot theme, but not the shutdown theme. If I change themes, the boot theme will work once, then be boinked again.
