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.

Can you provide the exact error message and possibly the stack trace please? You can retrieve it by booting recovery mode and looking in `/var/log/syslog`. — David Foerster, Nov 10 '15 at 05:38
I edited my question. Please let me know if additional information is needed. — AlvaHenrik, Nov 11 '15 at 11:43

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](http://askubuntu.com/questions/407131/why-is-plymouthd-crashing-on-startup) other solution didn't. – 0x6C38 Apr 27 '16 at 19:20

Same for me. Other solution didn't work. This one does :) Thank you. – Byscripts Jun 15 '16 at 17:28
This seems to be working so far in 16.04.1 as well (Ubuntu Gnome3), on kernel 4.4.0-83-generic. – David Graham Jul 11 '17 at 05:00
