[Bug 1825640] Re: plymouth default logo not showing on boot

[Dave Goldsbrough]

It is an intermittent bug.  Sometimes, boot up is no problem and the
Ubuntu splash screen does its usual thing.  Other times, (infrequently)
normal blank screen boot sequence but without splash screen towards the
end - just straight into login prompt.  At this point, after logging in
all seems fine but after a short time a popup dialog box appears saying
there is a problem and asks whether to report or not.  The problem is,
it is not the normal sort of crash report and there is no confidence
that report has been submitted and so I raised this manual bug report.

It is a minor issue, the only effect is on Ubuntu reputation and could
be off putting to new users.
