Bug Description
Text screen displays the following warning, and is misleading, since it has nothing to do with boot or Xorg problems:
(process 239): GLIb-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
Please open a new bug for any boot hangs, etc. This message is not related to those problems, and need to be tracked separately.
(The warning appears for people with Plymouth in their initramfs, for things like encrypted drives, etc. It is triggered by Pango initialization that tries to read /etc/passwd, which is missing in the initramfs.)

Is this after an upgrade from a previous release?
Does this happen when attempting to install?
Does this happen after installing from a particular CD? (LIVE / Alternate / Mini)
