Public bug reported: On my system, Plymouth shows properly on shutdown, but at boot I get a blank screen and an error from my monitor saying "No Signal", followed usually by some terminal text mentioning something like "mountall: Plymouth command failed".
Then the Unity greeter comes up and everything after that runs just fine. It'd still be nice to see the boot splash, though. I've been getting this problem since I installed the 9/9/2011 daily build of Oneiric, but didn't get around to reporting it until today for some reason. Not sure if it's related to the fact that I cannot get grub to display either, despite this being a dual-boot between Oneiric and Natty, but I'll file that separately.
