I can confirm this bug is still present in Kubuntu 12.04, I decided to upgrade my system to get new KDE and all these security fixes, but this bug was obviously included as a bonus. The update came from kubuntu- backports.
It does not show the splash animation, only the text-only logo with flashing dots. At the end, something about broken pipe and writing bytes appears for a moment, then it either dies and shows the F1 login prompt, or - sometimes - it proceeds to KDM and lets me log in normally. I tried to find "broken pipe" in system logs, with no success. After logging into the console at F1, startx seems to work all right. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/521298 Title: could not write byte broken pipe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/521298/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
