On my home PC, there are no plymouth processes after the boot up process is complete and I have logged in. On my work machine however, where I am having this problem, I have plymouth processes as described in comment #4 after logging in and for the duration of the session (a few days).
The plymouth process as far as I know, is suppose to terminate before or once the login screen is displayed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722745 Title: Virtualbox service fails to start due to hanging plymouth --ping response To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1722745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
