plymouthd crashes on startup - Intel HD 3000 - 15.10

Question

After upgrading to 15.10 from 15.04 I got a segfault in plymouthd on every startup.

This is what I can find in syslog:

Nov 11 12:22:26 H3A2764 systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=11/SEGV
Nov 11 12:22:26 H3A2764 systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Unit entered failed state.
Nov 11 12:22:26 H3A2764 systemd[1]: plymouth-start.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.

I uploaded /var/crash/_sbin_plymouthd.0.crash here.

Solution

The solution for me was to tell plymouth to use framebuffer with these steps:

echo "FRAMEBUFFER=y" | sudo tee -a /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash && sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

This worked for me as well this other solution didn't.

Same for me. Other solution didn't work. This one does :) Thank you.

This seems to be working so far in 16.04.1 as well (Ubuntu Gnome3), on kernel 4.4.0-83-generic.
