[Bug 800701] Re: init: plymouth-stop pre-start process terminated with status 1(plymouth-stop called multiple times due to race?)

[paul fox]

as further background information on possible causes for this:

the message in question will occur in the log any time upstart is told
to (re)enter runlevel 2.  i.e, if you type "telinit 2", you'll see the
result both in the output of "last -x  head" (because wtmp records the
(null) level transition) and in the output of "dmesg", where the
plymouth-stop pre-start scriptlet records its demise.

(also note that the script /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf is *not*
consulted when the addition to dmesg occurs -- "ls -lu" will show you
that.  the pre-start segment of that script seems to be cached
elsewhere.  this may not be relevant, but is simply a factoid i
discovered while attempting to isolate the source of the "terminated
with status 1" message.)

Title:
  init: plymouth-stop pre-start process terminated with status 1
  (plymouth-stop called multiple times due to race?)

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 dev with plymouth 0.8.2-2ubuntu23. My desktop environment is LXDE with LXDM as login manager. Since a few months I get on every system boot the message "init: plymouth-stop pre-start process (PID) terminated with status 1". The system is working fine with this message but it's annoying to see it every time.
