Hey there Mike, this is a known issue. If you can boot into recovery
mode, do so and then issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. If you
can't use recovery mode due to needing speech access, here is a work around.
1 boot the computer from a mem stick or usb drive
2. run gparted or equivalent to determine the partition of your ubuntu
system.
3. press alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal
4. at prompt, issue cd /mnt
5. Type sudo mkdir sysimage
6. type sudo mount /dev/ /mnt/sysimage
For example, my command looks like: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sysimage
7. Type sudo chroot /mnt/sysimage
You should now be able to issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. I
hope this helps, let me know if you need any further help. You can
E-mail me off list if you need to. I really hope a fix is available
soon, or ditch plymouth for this release until this problem is fixed.
Later,
Guy
