How to fix Plymouth splash?

[Niles Rogoff]

Try uninstalling plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text and installing
plymouth-theme-text

If that doesn't work, after booting for a while try pressing alt+F7,
alt+f6, alt+f1, etc... a few times until something happens. I usually only
have to do that on really old hardware
