Same problem on a fresh install of Ubuntu 19.10 x86_64 on a Toshiba Satellite U405. Another curiosity is that plymouth fails to display anything on the splash screen, it is just black until the system fully boots up.
Removing splash from /etc/default/grub disables plymouth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1766095 Title: plymouthd constantly uses 5% of CPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1766095/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
