Dear Maintainer,

I added the splash parameter to GRUB with only the "nouveau" driver for Nvidia 
graphics card and plymouth seemed to be able to work. I say seemed because I 
couldn't get it to quite work but because I sometimes saw splash screens 
for fractions of a second at boot and it didn't prevent the boot from 
completing, I'm pretty sure it's able to work with a little bit of tinkering. 
But after I installed the Nvidia proprietary drivers version 550, the boot 
process just freezes if I add the splash parameter to GRUB. By that, I mean the 
splash screen isn't shown and I only see a white horizontal line on the top 
left of my black screen (probably some kind of cursor) start to blink 
before staying lit after a second or two. It then stays in this position until 
I decide to forcefully shut down my PC by pressing down the power button for 
quite some time. If I boot without the splash parameter, the machine 
boots normaly.

I tried replicating the issue after the boot in a KDE on X11 environment and 
using the following commands:
sudo plymouthd
sudo plymouth --show-splash
I was able to display the splash screen with the nouveau driver but not with 
the nvidia-drivers where it showed a blank screen (black screen on an LCD 
screen so it's grayish).

Maybe this is a problem with the nvidia proprietary drivers specifically in 
which case you may not be the right person solve this. Anyway, I'm sure you've 
got way more experience than I do with the Debian operating system and 
Plymouth so I believe this is where I should report this.
