Bug Description
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"
VERSION="14.04, Trusty Tahr"
Package: kdm
Origin: Ubuntu
Maintainer: Kubuntu Developers <email address hidden>
Bugs: https:/
Architecture: i386
Source: kde-workspace
Version: 4:4.11.9-0ubuntu0.2
file /etc/init/kdm.conf contains the line
$(plymouth quit && plymouth wait && sleep 1) || :
The syntax of this command for plymouth Version: 0.8.8-0ubuntu17 is invalid
plymouth wait
Splash control client
USAGE: plymouth [OPTION...] [COMMAND [OPTION...]...]
It should be plymouth --wait
Thus the sleep 1 is never executed because the invalid plymouth wait returns 1( false) and never 0 (true).
So to keep the style consistent with both instances of calling plymouth, the line should read
$(plymouth --quit && plymouth --wait && sleep 1) || :
-------
However, if plymouth has already been told to quit, how can the command to tell plymouth to wait do anything if plymouth is no longer running?
