Public bug reported:

The plymouth apport source package hooks wants to gather log files as
the root user and apport provides a policy kit policy for collecting
that information. This works fine in a graphical environment but not in
a non-graphical one.

ubuntu@disco:~$ ubuntu-bug plymouth

*** Collecting problem information

The collected information can be sent to the developers to improve the
application. This might take a few minutes.
