Comment 21 for bug 1066883

dmesg shows the below output. plymouth is clearly being stopped by lightdm (not by /etc/init/plymouth-stop.conf), so we're not hitting a race in the plymouth jobs. But after stopping plymouth, lightdm hits the problem with the X server and exits.

I think this is clearly a problem with either the kernel or with lightdm.
