[Bug 811270] Re: plymouth animation doesn't alwas start

[Steve Langasek]

It's always possible that the display manager will come up before
plymouth has a chance to start; we favor faster boots over guaranteed
display of the splash screen.  When you get the black screen, do you get
any error messages, or does the screen just remain black?

What do you mean when you say that sometimes the animation "semi works"?
