[Bug 1868240] Re: No plymouth screens displayed at all after installing the Nvidia driver

[Sebastien Bacher]

Thanks for the report Daniel. Did it use to work? Does the theme make a
difference? (if you switch back to ubuntu-logo)?

Could you provide a plymouth debug log
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Plymouth#Enabling_Debugging ?

Also might be worth reporting upstream
