[Bug 848051] Re: Plymouth splash makes accessing console with Ctrl+Alt+Fx impossible

[Lukasz Olszewski]

Well, rest assured that I didn't install them manually so they've must
been installed with the package somewhere along the road (I haven't done
a clean install since Maverick). Reinstalling the plymouth package
doesn't however restore this symlink so I'm almost sure that it happened
during update from natty to oneiric alpha. If however current updates
don't cause this then you may feel free to mark this one as invalid.

Title:
  Plymouth splash makes accessing console with Ctrl+Alt+Fx impossible

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Also after lightdm crash or stop all you're left with is this white fading splash screen. There is no way to access the console.
  "update-rc.d plymouth-splash remove -f" fixes this but I seriously doubt this should be the way to do it.
  PS. I hope this is not some new feature that I'm reporting here on :)
