Just a bit of extra info -- it's possible that this has been mentioned
before.

I am using Acer C710-2834 with Chrome OS installed via s9ryd script.

In my case there are two (2) distinct behaviors.

1.  Happens when the Chromebook is Running on Battery power.
The message >>> plymouthd:  ply-terminal.c:611: ply_terminal_open: Assertion 'terminal != ((void *)0)' failed
appears and stays on the screen (forever, I guess).
The log-in screen will not appear by itself.
To get to the log-in screen, I have to close the cover and then reopen it.
At various tries, different elements of the log-in screen will appear but I typically get the password text box.
Typing the password will get me to the desktop.

2.  Happens when the Chromebook is Running on Power Supply / Mains (the battery is inserted and "charging")
The message >>> plymouthd:  ply-terminal.c:611: ply_terminal_open: Assertion 'terminal != ((void *)0)' failed
appears and stays on the screen for short time (2 to 3 sec).
The fully rendered and working log-in screen will appear by itself.
Typing the password will get me to the desktop.

Hope this helps

Title:
  plymouthd: ply-terminal.c: 611 ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal
  != ((void *)0)' failed.

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Plymouth on Chromebook always ends with this message. I added manual
  overrides for all plymouth jobs in /etc/init/ but I am tired of
  telling each user how to work around a problem.

  There were suggestions that this is because of kernel cmdline: "cros_secure console= console=tty1 printk.time=1 quiet nosplash rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rw loglevel=0" because plymouth only takes first one while kernel is using the last one...
