Kx Studio 12.04.3 with lxde installed.


I recently used super boot manager to enable, and change the boot splash (custom boot splash) Boot splash works fine.

However on logging in i noticed my CPU Usage was unusually high and staying high (60-90%) it turns out that plymouthd is still running in the background.

Ive searched and searched and only found information back in 2010 about it being a bug, which was obviously fixed by now. So ive no idea why its doing it, and how to fix it.

I also have this setup on my laptop and dont have the issue. The only difference is laptop is 32 bit intel and has lubuntu instead of kx studio
