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

[Boris Gjenero]

I never experienced any significant problems because of this bug. It
only results in those error messages. If your system fails to boot or
other things crash, that is probably due to a different unrelated issue.

The "sleep" in /etc/init/plymouth-upstart-bridge.conf does make these
error messages go away, but it gives an "Unknown stanza" error instead,
so it's not really a solution. I'm not even sure if plymouth-upstart-
bridge runs when there is an unknown stanza there, so it could make
things worse.

This problem is not present in recent Ubuntu versions when using systemd
instead of upstart.

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
