[Bug 758657] Re: plymouthd assert failure: plymouthd: ply-text-display.c:243: ply_text_display_write: Assertion `format != ((void *)0)' failed.

[Steve Langasek]

This crash happens when the text plugin tries to write the distribution
name and version to the screen.  The name is taken from the 'title'
field of /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth, but in
this case it appears to be empty.  Please attach a copy of this file
from your system to the bug.

** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete

** Summary changed:

- plymouthd assert failure: plymouthd: ply-text-display.c:243: ply_text_display_write: Assertion `format != ((void *)0)' failed.
+ plymouthd assert failure: plymouthd: ply-text-display.c:243: ply_text_display_write: Assertion `format != ((void *)0)' failed. (empty title field in text plugin theme)
