Public bug reported: On shutdown, user can escape splash screen and view console logs with the ESC key. With the default Ubntu plymouth theme, this breaks rendering of systemd messages, making them unreadable. Other console messages are not affected.
I will upload a screen shot. This is reported also here by another user: https://askubuntu.com/q/1526733/152287 removing splash from the kernel command line options in grub stops the problem. Also, the standard text theme and the ubuntu-text plymouth theme also avoid the problem. This hints there is something wrong with the default theme, perhaps. tim@black:~$ apt-cache policy plymouth plymouth: Installed: 24.004.60-1ubuntu7 Candidate: 24.004.60-1ubuntu7 Version table: *** 24.004.60-1ubuntu7 500 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status current workaround: tim@black:~$ sudo update-alternatives --display default.plymouth default.plymouth - manual mode link best version is /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth link currently points to /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth link default.plymouth is /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth /usr/share/plymouth/themes/bgrt/bgrt.plymouth - priority 110 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text/text.plymouth - priority 100 /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-text/ubuntu-text.plymouth - priority 100 tim@black:~$ cat /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf cat: /etc/plymouth/plymouthd.conf: No such file or directory tim@black:~$ uname -a lsb_release -a Linux black 6.11.0-1006-oem #6-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Sep 23 11:51:29 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux No LSB modules are available.
