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

[Łukasz Zemczak]

So plymouth is by default using tty1 already, but there seem to be some
other problems here. Looks like with the 'quiet splash' option, when
plymouth is running there still seems to be some output printed out to
the screen on top of the splash-screen (from the looks of it it's
systemd output + a few single kernel messages on the kvm). This looks
terrible. The old FRAMEBUFFER=y initramfs trick works partially, but the
few single kernel messages are still being printed. By 'quiet' I would
expect completely silent boot. When running with just 'quiet' without
plymouth, I actually only see the kernel messages (which is still
something I wouldn't expect seeing).

I suppose this would have to be fixed first.
