[Bug 1572874] Re: plymouth is disabled after upgrade from trusty due to missing "splash" kernel arg

[Martin Pitt]

I installed Ubuntu GNOME 14.04.4 amd64, and this also gets "splash" on
the kernel command line by default. Are you sure that you didn't
manually remove this?

I dist-upgraded this to 16.04 then; this was a bit bumpy (took some apt-
get -f installs, but this is unrelated). After that I still had "splash"
in the command line, and during boot I see the gray/white double u logo
with the blue spinner, which should be the plymouth splash.

So I'm afraid I either cannot reproduce this or I misunderstand what the
issue is here.

Title:
  plymouth is disabled after upgrade from trusty due to missing "splash"
  kernel arg

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in plymouth source package in Xenial:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I upgraded a mostly clean install of 14.04.4 -> 16.04 (Ubuntu GNOME).
  Plymouth is never displayed on the upgraded system.

  This is due to the grub config not having the "splash" kernel
  commandline argument currently
