[Bug 1927812] [NEW] plymouth blinks and freezes on shutdown

[Thambaru Wijesekara]

Public bug reported:

Plymouth splash works fine, shutsdown the HDD and turns up again freezed
on shutdown. It takes few seconds and then shutdown the PC. But if I
press F2 during splash is responsive, the system shuts down in one shot.

I am using NVIDIA proprietary-tested drivers, with Intel (Power saving)
option. Everything was perfect on 20.04 LTS until I upgrade to 21.04.
