Comment 43 for bug 1371651

This looks to be a bug in plymouth terminal handling. Specifically it appears that seat->terminal may be null and we should avoid attempting to instantiate a text terminal on it in this case.

The attached patch gets us past this issue and up to lightdm. I am unsure if the splash is actually working correctly with it.

I have applied this patch for testing and pushed updated binaries to the PPA below:

If anyone affected by this could install these and test to see if they resolve the issue.
