[Bug 1525841] Re: xubuntu and lubuntu (maybe other flavors?) doesn't have plymouth text progress on live

** Description changed:

  Here are some observation since the move to plymouth 1.2:
  1. All is fine for the plymouth-theme-ubuntu-*:
-   1.1 On real hardware, the logo theme is displayed
-   1.2 On vm (qemu/virtualbox), the background is aubergine and the ubuntu-text theme is displayed (with square dots)
+   1.1 On real hardware, the logo theme is displayed
+   1.2 On vm (qemu/virtualbox), the background is aubergine and the ubuntu-text theme is displayed (with square dots)
  
  2. For flavors themes:
-  1.1 On real hardware, their logo theme is displayed as expected, with the correct background color
-  1.2 on vm:
-    1.2.1 on the live image, their text themes (not details, only black text as a traditional console outputs) is displayed. The vga16fb driver isn't loaded, on the live session, but that may be the issue (no vga16fb support in new plymouth)?
-    1.2.2 after installing (without any network connection), the text theme is displayed (square dots). However, the background is black and not the distro's theme color.
