If you enabled SSH during install, then you should have a listening SSH
server. UFW is _not_ activated by default with a normal Ubuntu Server
install as of 12.04. I don't know what happened here.

There are good reasons to use Plymouth, whatever you may think of splash
screens. It's easy to disable it and get the normal text boot process with
Plymouth.

I'm sorry you've had so much trouble with the display, but there's
something else going on with the SSH setup, the server, or the network.
