Package: lightdm Version: 1.18.3-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
For what I can see, lightdm is stopping itself plymouth during the boot to minimize the flickering of the screen. That means that the plymouth-quit.service file shouldn't be started I've attached a patch that copy what GDM is doing, I tested that on a stretch VM and it's working.
