Title:
  Boot splash screen is empty in Ubuntu 18.04 with nvidia proprietary
  driver

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a PC with duo 1080Ti cards and with nvidia proprietary driver
  (from CUDA repo) installed. During booting, plymouth splash screen is
  empty.

  The driver I used is:

      ye at purple-warthog:~/Downloads$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/cuda.list
      deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1804/x86_64 /

      ye at purple-warthog:~/Downloads$ LC_ALL='C' apt search "^nvidia" |
  grep installed

      WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with
  caution in scripts.

  And the plymouth version is:

      ye at purple-warthog:~/Downloads$ LC_ALL='C' apt search "^plymouth" |
  grep installed
