[Bug 1797843] Re: No progress dot during boot

[Iain Lane]

I think that we simply made plymouth better at deactivating, and so this
is "not a bug" - the system is booting up fast enough that plymouth is
not needed.

Presumably if you add "ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 5" to gdm.service you see
the dots.

Title:
  No progress dot during boot

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop

  There is no progress dots anymore during boot. Instead there is a
  purple screen for a while, then a flash, the Ubuntu logo with fixed
  white dots and finally the login screen.
