Comment 86 for bug 553745

Hi,

Finally, for the first time since I installed the patch for bug 571707, plymouthd crashed. For the record, I have to remind that:
 1/ before installing that patch, plymouthd used to crash about once every two boot of my laptop
 2/ I boot my laptop at least once a day, some time up to 5 times per day (due to bug 510803 preventing me from suspending it to ram)
 3/ to be able to collect useful informations about previous bug, I had enabled apport long time ago, and never disabled it since then. In the present case, that is only because apport pops-up that I know that plymouthd crashed. From the very first time this bug showed-up, it has never been for me a real pain. I don't know how critical it is but the only symptom it has displayed for me has been (excepted apport of course) about 10s more to boot than usual
Anyway, in any case, I would happily test your plymouthd patch if I could have the slightest idea on how to do so. I can even uninstall the patch for bug 571707 beforehand to increase the interest of the test if you see it useful (and if you tell ma how to do so).
Cheers.
Gilles
