Title:
  plymouthd process still running, chewing processor after boot

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  I observe plymouthd causing 25 wakeups/second on my up2date Maverick
  install. This is Kubuntu in case it matters.

  Look at the screenshot to see it. And look at the general number of
  wakeups which is ridiculous.

  p.s.
  I remember times having < 50 wakeups in total. Since some time Ubuntu drains my battery like crazy, not even comparable to the vista I have on another partition.
