Hi,
After installed plymouth on my machine, I have noted that my machine cannot shutdown anymore, it hangs after all shutdown process have finalized. So I have to press the power button in order to turn it off.
So I made some little researches on how plymouth works, and noted that it has a script (packaged by the people of my Arch Linux distro) that call the following commands.
Basically it:
plymouthd --mode=shutdown plymouth --show-splash plymouth --quit
So I tried this commands in the terminal (tty2) and I noted that after run "plymouth --quit" it hangs and doesn't stop plymouthd.
But it happens only when I start plymouthd with --mode=shutdown. Without this option, plymouthd stops flawlessly.
Have you confirm this?
