Yeah, quite possibly it doesn't properly reset the terminal after it shuts down X. We might be able to add a workaround to lightdm.service, some ExecStopPost= which resets the terminal. But maybe this can be fixed in a better way in X.

Disable plymouth (by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" in /etc/default/grub and running sudo update-grub) 2. Restart or shut down 3. Watch the mess that gets displayed see screenshot) My guess is that some newlines are missing in the output. This is on current 15.04, booting using systemd. Of course, it only takes two to three seconds to shut down and this is the non-default option, but still, it would be nice if the output were nice.
