[Bug 2056526] Re: Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on live session shutdown

[Tim Richardson]

PS on this same install,  I also see this very recently, but I assumed it was related to a BIOS update in preparation for CPU upgrade:
[this is pasted from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/reports/bugs/2056526]

Boxes that ended with black screen & cursor/underscore (static/not-blinking)

Title:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on
  live session shutdown

Status in plymouth package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Plymouth's hidden console contains squares instead of bold text on
  live session shutdown.

  You can see it by pressing Escape instead of Enter.

  It seems somewhat related to the fix for bug 1942987, which only
  preloads non-bold text for the live session shutdown splash.
