Comment 8 for bug 564360

This bug affects me on real hardware with non-GUI x86_64 server Ubuntu upgraded recently from Maverick to Natty
Plymouth ping just hangs, epolling for file handle 3 which lsof shows as :

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
plymouth 1449 root 3u 0000 0,9 0 5392 anon_inode

I can't understand what this means.
On boot, these plymouth-related processes are started :

/sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session
plymouth-upstart-bridge

Fortunately, sshd is also started on boot, and I can access the system remotely.
Now checking if linking `which plymouth` to `which true` is of any help.

This is clearly a plymouth bug. Dislike this useless stuff very much .
