plymouth and the DM do not run at the same time.  The upstart jobs are
carefully structured to ensure that plymouth is always stopped before
the DM is started.  This bug is unreproducible for the vast majority of
users, and I don't know what information to ask you for to try to debug
this.  Do you have any modified upstart jobs under /etc/init, or have
you removed any job files from this system?

Title:
  keyboard sometimes doesn't respond at login

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have tried diferant display managers (kdm nd lightdm) both are
  effected sometims whn my sister turns on her netbook she can't type in
  her password untill she puts th cmpute to sleep and wakes it up again,
  this seems to be randome, from what I have been able to fine from
  googling all over the place plymouth is to blame for this, seems to be
  if it is still running when whateverdm starts you will not bable to
  type.

  on my own laptop I have had the same problem and was able to fix it by
  adding a sleep 2 before exec lightdm in /etc/init/lightdm.conf

  my sisters netbook needed  more then that, he delay got to 6 seconds
  long and still wasn't reliable, I had to modify /etc/default/grub to
  ass text after splash then put service lightdm restart in rc.local so
  she could login most of the time.

  she has had the problem in 14.04 and now in 14.10, I have had it sense
  13.04
