[Bug 1580445] [NEW] Minimal-install boot "animation" can lead to brown-colored login prompt

[Daniel Richard G.]

Public bug reported:

I am seeing this on a Xenial minimal install with plymouth
0.9.2-3ubuntu13 (as well as 0.9.2-3ubuntu13.1).

After the text-mode boot logo ("Ubuntu 16.04" with the four dots) is
shown on start-up, the text-mode tty1 login prompt is sometimes printed
in brown/orange text instead of the standard white/gray color.

If I log in at that prompt, the terminal session is in all brown text.
tty2 et al. are not affected.

Whether the login prompt turns out brown or white appears to be by luck
of the draw. It probably has to do with the point at which the four-dot
"color flipping" ends when the login prompt is ready.

** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
