According to Steve in #16: "If you don't want the graphical
splash, you can remove the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo package. Or you can
boot without the 'splash' option to get a text-only view, which is in fact
the default on new installs of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server; though this causes
some problems in the rare cases when you *do* need to interact at boot time"
In other words, if I have a server and I don't want a graphical boot, there
will be problems.
I have already migrated 18 of my 38 Ubuntu servers over to Debian because this
splash crap keeps causing issues. So no, this bug is not invalid. Admins
(like me) are politely requesting that plymouth be an optional part of the boot
process--expecially for servers. I for one like to see exactly what's going on
while my system is booting. If I wanted the boot process to be a hidden and
total mystery, I'd switch to Windows 7.
** Changed in: plymouth (Ubuntu)
