Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
I have had plymouth removed for some time now due to the many problems
it had been causing. All the old bugs i was experiencing have been
fixed, but when i tried to reinstall plymouth my system becomes
unbootable. The boot process is normal until after the splash screen
dissapears. A blinking underscore comes up in the top left corner of the
screen, which is what it used to do when i had plymouth installed. then
it just hangs there with the blinking underscore and never does anything
else. If i press the power button a bunch of messages come up about
various proccesses being killed, the last of which is gdm, next should
be plymouth and the shut down, but plymouth does not get killed causing
me to have to kill the power. The only way to boot is to boot into
recovery mode and remove plymouth, then everything works great.
