I found the conflict with the eGalax Touch Daemon driver. I moved the driver startup from /etc/init.d/eGtouch.sh to userspace as I don't need the touchscreen at login.
The strange thing is I have 17 machines with this configuration and only one is exhibiting this behaviour with plymouthd -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192051 Title: plymouthd spinning at 100% CPU after I log in Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in lightdm package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: plymouthd spinning at 100% CPU.
