Public bug reported:
Just got the nvidia driver update from 361 to 367. Upon reboot, the boot
splash (plymouth?) with the password prompt for the encrypted root is
missing.
The screen flashes dark purple and the switches to black with a blinking
cursor echoing anything typed. Ctrl-alt-del reboots. Booting with kernel
options "quiet splash" removed results in a text-mode boot process where
the password prompt is present, proceeding normally.
Wasn't sure if this was plymouth or nvidia issue, I'm guessing nvidia
because that's what upgraded and broke functionality.
Tried redoing update-grub and update-initramfs, didn't help. Found I had
both nvidia-361 and nvidia-367 installed (why didn't -361 uninstall?),
but manually removing -361 (and redoing initramfs just in case) didn't
change anything.
