Comment 11 for bug 981314

@#7:
 - The debug log you've attached doesn't show this workaround ever being triggered

I noticed that, too. After compiling the plymouth package from source, I installed all of the resultant .deb files, and I think the problem only happens when the text theme is used.

- I also see that the two debug logs you attached were identical; did you perhaps attach the wrong one the second time, or did no debug log get written the second time?

I dunno. Perhaps the debugging code won't overwrite an existing file?

@#10:
 - Bob, could you please try the bzr branch at lp:~vorlon/ubuntu/precise/plymouth/lp.981314?

Will do. Building now.
