Title:
  Failure to record successful boot

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am not all that experienced with Linux/Ubuntu.  I have no problem
  with attempting to assist, but I would need specifics as to what I
  would need to do next.

  After a fresh install, the first thing I do is "sudo apt update &&
  sudo apt upgrade" followed by a reboot.  On every reboot, a timer
  hangs up the shutdown process for 5 minutes while it's waiting for
  something along the lines of "Waiting for recording successful boot".

  Today, I did a regular update/upgrade (as above) and started getting
  these errors (see attached).

  Per Brian Murray's comment in a related (close) bug report, I'm
  attaching the output of 'strace plymouth --ping'.  I used "script
  <filename>" to generate the output.

  Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide
  (instructions may be needed).

  Thank you!
