Update to #10: After killing the original plymouthd process (the one running '@sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session --pid-file=/run/plymouth/pid' as root) the installation continued and seems to have installed succesfully.
After reboot ubuntu started succesfully and I can also install the other tools I originally wanted to install. This seems to be a workaround though I'd advice rebooting immediately after the apt install or update completed successfully, since plymouth is responsible for the splash/login screen and logging out/suspending will likely result in a crash of some kind. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1705345 Title: Installing new kernel hangs on plymouth --ping To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1705345/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
