Description Ricardo Funke Ormieres 2011-08-02 14:08:26 UTC 
Hi,

After installed plymouth on my machine, I have noted that my machine cannot shutdown anymore, it hangs after all shutdown process have finalized. So I have to press the power button in order to turn it off.

So I made some little researches on how plymouth works, and noted that it has a script (packaged by the people of my Arch Linux distro) that call the following commands.

Basically it:

plymouthd --mode=shutdown
plymouth --show-splash
plymouth --quit

So I tried this commands in the terminal (tty2) and I noted that after run "plymouth --quit" it hangs and doesn't stop plymouthd.

But it happens only when I start plymouthd with --mode=shutdown. Without this option, plymouthd stops flawlessly.

Have you confirm this?

what boot splash are you running? If you switch to a different one, do you still see this behavior?

You mean the theme? It's spinner, but I will try another one and feed you back ;)

This behaviour might be caused by bug #89503
