[Bug 1082742] Re: plymouthd: ply-terminal.c: 611 ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal != ((void *)0)' failed.

[Tom Brown]

I ended up at this bug because I saw the message in the title while running http://goo.gl/s9ryd per http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2013/05/chrubuntu-one-script-to-rule-them-all_31.html
I found a work-around at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2162179 : use  http://goo.gl/kpzxn instead. This gets a version of the script from jay0lee on github instead of googledrive.

Title:
  plymouthd: ply-terminal.c: 611 ply_terminal_open: Assertion `terminal
  != ((void *)0)' failed.

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Plymouth on Chromebook always ends with this message. I added manual
  overrides for all plymouth jobs in /etc/init/ but I am tired of
  telling each user how to work around a problem.

  There were suggestions that this is because of kernel cmdline: "cros_secure console= console=tty1 printk.time=1 quiet nosplash rootwait root=/dev/mmcblk0p7 rw loglevel=0" because plymouth only takes first one while kernel is using the last one...
