[Trisquel-users] Plymouth never starts

[vukedan3]

I've just switched to Trisquel and I'm not sure how to get plymouth working.   
As far as I can tell, it should function out of the box and present me with  
some sort of graphical display on boot, but that is not the case.  All that  
happens on boot is that a large quantity of text scrolls past the screen too  
quickly to read.  This text may be errors, but I can't read it.  I am then  
given the opportunity to enter my disk encryption password, and boot  
continues.  None of this occurs in any sort of graphical setting.

Hardware is a Libreboot Thinkpad X-60.
