Comment 11 for bug 1192051

Thanks Daniel.

I have also discovered that plymouthd is crashing sometime during boot/log in (not sure exactly when). I built a version of plymouth with symbols and have a stack trace that shows that it's falling over at on_deactivate w/ a segfault. So I think when plymouthd crashes, a new plymouthd is spawned, but the deactivate from lightdm has already occurred, so plymouthd just spins waiting on a deactivate to occur.

Since I have a good stack trace, I think trying to figure out why it's segfaulting is possible. Also, as you point out, perhaps putting in some robustness for EIO may be helpful as well.
