Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: plymouth
After upgrading from Karmic to Lucid my Kubuntu installation initially
came up with plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text although kubuntu-desktop (and
consequently plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo) were installed correctly.
After having removed plymouth-theme-ubuntu-text I am unable to get any
bootsplash to show.
This happens with an Intel 945GME graphics controller.
I am almost certain that the display is correctly initialized to
graphics mode as the switchover to X happens seamlessly (i.e., the mouse
cursor appears over the boot messages before kdm shows up).
When I manually invoke
sudo plymouthd
sudo plymouth --show-splash
on the console the splash screen is correctly displayed and animated.
The configuration per se also looks sensible:

There is one thing I should probably mention: I have encrypted my root
partition with cryptsetup, so /lib/ is obviously not yet available when
the password prompt is supposed to appear.
However, I also verified the contents of the initrd.img, which also looks
sensible:

When putting plymouth into debug mode I do not see any errors or other
messages related to any attempt to load the splash theme (cf. attached
photo).
I am currently somewhat stuck with my investigations. Do you have any
idea where how to continue the root cause analysis?
