[Bug 1675453] Re: During d-i install of ubuntu-server from mini.iso I get no login prompt

[Dave Morley]

Look like mini.iso/netboot will use plymouth in text mode where the
server.iso does not.  So I think that plymouth is not being taken down
and therefore utilising tty1 which is why we see no login adding
plymouth to the bug.

** Package changed: debian-installer (Ubuntu) => plymouth (Ubuntu)
