[Bug 966480]

[Chris Bainbridge]

Upstart doesn't wait for the call to plymouthd to exit, it just waits
for it to fork.

The upstart script is like:

    expect fork
    exec /sbin/plymouthd --mode=shutdown
    post-start exec /bin/plymouth show-splash

afaics upstart starts plymouthd, and when plymouthd forks, upstart then
immediately executes "plymouth show-splash". At this point plymouthd
isn't ready - race condition - which causes the splash screen to fail.

"The daemon should ensure that when it completes the (second) fork that
it is fully initialized, since Upstart uses the fork count to determine
service readiness" http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#daemon-behaviour

This is probably more the fault of the upstart script than of plymouthd.
It seems like it will be easier to just fix the script.

Bug description:
  *** Edit ***
  This bug affects Ubuntu and other flavours as well and yes, it is alive and doing well with Saucy as well.

  *** End of Edit ***

  At the end of the installation, just after clicking on "Reboot Now" to
  restart the computer, the graphical environment is shut down and the
  TERM signal is sent, asking all processes to terminate. However, the
  prompt asking the user to remove the CD and press Enter is not shown
  (the CD is ejected, then the system hangs).

  Tested on today's (27 March 2012) KUbuntu Precise daily ISO in a VirtualBox VM (using VirtualBox 4.1.8, 1 GiB of RAM, 16 GiB HD, 4 CPUs, EFI disabled).
