This looks more like a libdrm bug. There's a race condition with the i915 device not being ready by the time plymouth is starting. Possibly it's because it doesn't have drm master.
<Sarvatt> apparently chromeos works around it with http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/kernel.git;a=commit;h=32a8c5b67163a6ae211ff2683c999b6ad2c76d1f but thats just working around the problem.. googling intel/intel_bufmgr_gem.c:2783 turns up a lot of hits. The code in question with the assert is: if (IS_GEN2(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 2; else if (IS_GEN3(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 3; else if (IS_GEN4(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 4; else if (IS_GEN5(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 5; else if (IS_GEN6(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 6; else if (IS_GEN7(bufmgr_gem->pci_device)) bufmgr_gem->gen = 7; else assert(0); $ xpci 8086:0126 snb-m-gt2+ (8086:0126) sandybridge So it should be going into the IS_GEN6 branch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/966868 Title: plymouthd crashed with SIGABRT in __assert_fail_base() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/966868/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
