I encountered this problem, with more severe side-effects, on Linode. When plymouth segfaults, it causes mountall to give up: mountall: Skipping mounting /var since Plymouth is not available
which is a nasty way for a boot to die. Removing --attach-to-session appears to be a workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/594839 Title: Plymouthd SIGSEGV on Lucid Xen Instance To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/594839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
