Title:
  No smooth transition out of X on shutdown

Status in “plymouth” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: plymouth

  This isn't serious but annoying. If you use the shutdown function in X
  it closes and you see the console with all the usual text and error
  messages which looks like something has crashed. After one second or
  something like that Plymouth kicks in and shows the usual
  boot/shutdown screen.

  Isn't it possible to let X directly change to Plymouth on shutdown (at
  least with KMS)? It would look much more coherent and professional.

  As soon as this and Bug #535108 is fixed Ubuntu would look really
  coherent, professional and great and a normal user would never see
  "annoying" console messages. This is what the whole boot experience
  blueprint is about I think.
