[Bug 1309617] Re: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (189) terminated with status 1 at boot

[Night Eagle]

I was having this problem with plymouth-upstart-bridge respawning repeatedly during boot.  Machine still came up,  but boot seemed to be delayed.
Here's a very simple solution I found here: http://www.unrelatedshit.com/2014/07/30/kvm-too-fast-for-plymouth-upstart-bridge/

To fix it, simply add a "sleep 2" to your /etc/init/plymouth-upstart-
bridge.conf like so:

[...]
stop on (stopping plymouth
         or stopping plymouth-shutdown)     

console output

exec plymouth-upstart-bridge
sleep 2

Title:
  plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (189) terminated with status 1 at
  boot

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I see this when I boot (I got it by running the dmesg command):
  [    7.631865] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (173) terminated with status 1
  [    7.632154] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning
  [    7.670080] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (183) terminated with status 1
  [    7.670443] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning
  [    7.706173] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process (186) terminated with status 1
  [    7.706534] init: plymouth-upstart-bridge main process ended, respawning

  I don't know if plymouth-upstart-bridge is supposed to be running at all time but it doesn't on my machine:
  bbigras at ubuntunew:~$ ps ax | grep plymouth-upstart-bridge
   8784 pts/2    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto plymouth-upstart-bridge
