Bug Description

After Plymouth's graphical boot, the computer ends up with a terminal interface, reading:

"(process:329): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17 /dev/sda5: clean 228192/2507328 files 208"5766/6018342 blocks init unreadahead-other main process(783) terminated with status 4.

, and the X cursor. The X cursor is movable, the keyboard accepts input, but if any key is pressed, characters such as diamonds, ^, \, and ? appear, instead of letters or numbers (I suppose the GDM screen should appear instantly after plymouth bootup. However...). Pressing Enter will clear the screen, play the 'Login screen Ready' sound and GDM will appear normally after a few seconds. It's not much of a big problem however, this happens almost every bootup, and isn't contributing to the time it takes to log in.

Lucid Lynx Alpha 3, gdm 2.29.92-0ubuntu1, plymouth 0.8.0~-12
