[Bug 1651139] [NEW] plymouth needs 'nomodeset', otherwise it hangs very often

[zanonmark]

Public bug reported:

If booting without 'nomodeset', Plymouth hangs very ofter right after
the Grub page, before the splash screen, leaving me to a useless black
screen.

(However, when booting with 'nomodeset' Unity icons can't be resized any
longer: see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1651138.)

** Affects: plymouth (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
