Hey there Mike, this is a known issue. If you can boot into recovery mode, do so and then issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. If you can't use recovery mode due to needing speech access, here is a work around. 1 boot the computer from a mem stick or usb drive 2. run gparted or equivalent to determine the partition of your ubuntu system. 3. press alt+f2 and type gnome-terminal 4. at prompt, issue cd /mnt 5. Type sudo mkdir sysimage 6. type sudo mount /dev/<your-ubuntu-partition> /mnt/sysimage For example, my command looks like: sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/sysimage 7. Type sudo chroot /mnt/sysimage
You should now be able to issue sudo apt-get remove --purge plymouth. I hope this helps, let me know if you need any further help. You can E-mail me off list if you need to. I really hope a fix is available soon, or ditch plymouth for this release until this problem is fixed.
