[Splashy-devel] Bug#422930: splashy: Splashy process consuming 100% cpu and creating error message after boot

[Benjamin Eikel]

Package: splashy
Version: 0.3.3
Severity: normal

Dear Splashy maintainers,

after booting my laptop I wondered why my cpu fan got louder. I started top and saw that the splashy process consumed 100% cpu load. 
This happens every time after I have booted the laptop. It does not matter what I do then (for example log in to KDE session): It 
takes some time and I get the following error message on tty1 and the splashy process is gone:

Splashy ERROR: Timeout (120 sec) occurred while waiting for a message on the Splashy socket
(!) [ 1084:    0.000] --> Caught signal 11 (at 0x81, invalid address) <--

Regards,
Benjamin Eikel

Configuration files:
/etc/default/splashy
# Splashy options
# To change Splashy's theme run "splashy_config". See "man splashy_config"

# splashy can be enabled by adding splash to your kernel's command line

# Splashy will switch to this TTY after finishing at boot
# When set to "auto" Splashy will automagically determine which TTY to switch to
CHVT_TTY=auto

# Set to "1" to allow Splashy to be put inside initramfs
# Remember to run "update-initramfs" and read the README file carefully
ENABLE_INITRAMFS=0

# Enable/disable debug mode, use with extreme caution! See README.scripts
DEBUG=0
