[Bug 506297] Re: Graphical Ubuntu logo enabled on servers, no more login prompt
@Maintainers, please reconsider. I just had a real usecase here where some box just hung and the last message I was seeing came from "plymouth". I booted with "ro nosplash noplymouth INIT_VERBOSE=yes init=/sbin/init -v", but it still hung. See plymouth-1.png under: http://nerdbynature.de/bits/LP-506297/ So I removed plymouth via equivs (control file & installable .deb on URL above) and it turned out it wasn't plymouth-related at all. As a bonus, the screen does not "clear" any more after boot, so I can see all the boot messages (if one had to plugin a display device :)) Again, please tell what plymouth would be good for in a Ubuntu _server_ installation. Last I checked, Ubuntu still supports server installations, does it not? Options: 1) remove plymouth altogether on Ubuntu server (until it does something useful) 2) make plymouth "Recommends", not "Depends" 3) ?

This does not look like a good decision on a server installation. Even without "quiet" and with "--verbose", all the info on screen is still lacking for a server.

LP: #520460, #522598, #526321, #533135 - Don't attempt VT switch when using non-VT consoles. - Make VT mandatory for renderer plugins, so we fallback gracefully to text when the console is not a VT.

Nothing here implies that serial consoles are unsupported or that you aren't able to boot without a graphical splash screen - removing the 'splash' boot option should accomplish the latter, setting the correct 'console' boot option achieves the former.

Since the current behavior of plymouth is there in response to other bugs, perhaps another solution here would be for the server to provide another upstart job that runs at the end of the boot to chvt over to VT1. I'm not sure if that job should run when plymouth itself stops, or if it should stop plymouth, but that seems a more reliable solution for this problem given that plymouth itself can't assume that chvt 1 is the desired behavior (since we may have gdm taking over at that point).
