I experience the same issue. This also causex 'plymouth --ping' to hang indefinitely. If I kill plymouthd manually reboot continues. But it seems like this is a real corner case. I don't use the default "quiet splash" kernel commandline options. Instead I use "console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8" in order to have a serial console for SOL (serial over LAN). And I use a custom Upstart file to start an X server instance. The problem disappears if I either: a) remove the second console option from the kernel commandline or b) delay start of the X server, for example by adding "started dbus and plymouth-ready" to the start conditions in my custom Xserver upstart config $ apt-cache policy plymouth plymouth: Installed: 0.8.8-0ubuntu17.1 Candidate: 0.8.8-0ubuntu17.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316991 Title: Shutdown hangs waiting for plymouth-shutdown To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1316991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
