[Bug 1600240] Re: plymouth does not switch to tty1 on Xenial server

[Joe Kuan]

I experience the same issue with 16.04 LTS.

The only workaround I can come up with is to put the following line into
/etc/rc.local (before the last line 'exit 0')

(sleep 1; chvt 1) &

I have no idea why simply putting 'chvt 1' won't work at all, beyond my
knowledge. What is even more strange is that this issue doesn't occur on
VM.

  plymouth does not switch to tty1 on Xenial server

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  On a Xenial server, I installed plymouth and plymouth-theme-ubuntu-
  logo.

  When the server boots:

  * the logo is displayed correctly
  * after some time, the logo disappear and display some text

        lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
        lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
      /: clean, 28973/187680 files, 199081/749568 blocks

  I need to manually switch to tty1 with Alt-F1 to get the login prompt,
  on Trusty the switch is automatic.

  I tried every console to found the text displayed above, it is
  displayed on tty7.

  Regards.
