Title:
  plymouth shows ascii text instead of logo whenever I boot the computer
  while using wayland on my Radeon HD 6450

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I was booting up Ubuntu, I expected the splash-screen to show
  without issue. However, instead i saw ascii text saying "Ubuntu
  18.04", and this happens every time I boot using Wayland on my Radeon
  HD 6450.

  I expected the regular bootscreen to happen instead.

  Workaround:
  Use Xorg, not Wayland.
